Gastronomista: Saloon Box with Luxardo Maraschino

Learning about cocktails can be a costly endeavor - it can become quite a financial undertaking to stock one's bar with obscure spirits, liqueurs, and syrups (I should know!). Fortunately, SaloonBox has it worked out for you - they send you monthly kits that have two cocktails in each kit - complete with boozy minis and all the required syrups and ingredients to make said cocktail. It's a perfect way to figure out if you want to invest in a full bottle of an liqueur to make a particular cocktail and add it to your repertoire.

This month SaloonBox features a Luxardo Maraschino Vodka cocktail called "And the Cherry On Top Is..." made with Vanilla Syrup and Fresh Lemon juice that is simply to die for, and I couldn't help but share.

And the Cherry On Top Is...
Created by SaloonBox

1-1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino
3 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Vanilla Simple Syrup (3 Packets)
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Top with Club Soda

Garnish with a Cocktail Cherry

It's a simple cocktail that is even easier to make - shake the vodka, maraschino, simple syrup, and the lemon juice in a cocktail shaker, strain into cocktail coupes, top with soda water, and finish with a few cocktail cherries - et voilà - you've got a bar quality cocktail, at home!
