They are way better tasting than those waxy red maraschino cherries you see in stores. They had made these amazing whiskey sours with homemade sours and homemade luxardo cherries.
I first heard about Luxardo cherries last year from the gals over at This Girl Walks Into A Bar. I like using tart dark cherries, frozen now since obviously not in season but fresh when they are or if you really want to treat yo self go with some fancy schmancy Luxardo maraschino cherries. I have played around with slight variations of this sour cocktail, really a sweet and sour cocktail, and this is the winner. I had these tart cherries I was using for popsicles for my kids and I decided to plop a few in my drink - muddle with the simple syrup then add the rest of the ingredients. I also kind of sort of forgot about this post coming up having been so busy the past few weeks and I had a few other ideas for recipes and I think I will make those soon because they sounded good too but with a bit of a time crunch I went with this sour cocktail because assembly and photographing was a lot quicker than say pancakes or eggs benedict. I guess I was waiting for the right moment to share it. This year I went with something I actually came up with last summer but never blogged it. I think any ladies only brunch should have fun girly cocktails. Last year I made a cocktail for Galentine's Day. Last year was the inaugural blogger Galentine's Day blog party and we have even more awesome bloggers joining in this year to make this one awesome virtual party! BUT I love the idea of having brunch with a bunch of gal pals, even if only virtually, to celebrate this awesome day. It is also a totally made up holiday from a fictional character on a silly show - Parks and Rec. Each one means so much to me and I couldn't pick just one to dedicate this post to. This post is dedicated to all the awesome women in my life from family, to friends I have now and some I have lost ( may they all rest in peace) to my two young daughters. Cocktails like my Wicked Waikiki Sour Cocktail I made for you all today. It is finally here - Galentine's Day! The day where gals get together to celebrate being awesome women over brunch - you know waffles, frittatas and cocktails.
