1 cup whole cherries, pitted and de-stemmed
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
2 ounces simple syrup
2 ounces Bluecoat Gin
In the Vita-Mix Bar Boss, combine the cherries with the lemon juice and simple syrup. Blend on setting No. 1 until puree is smooth and frothy (cherry bits are okay). Pour purée into a mixing glass and add Bluecoat. Shake and strain into a Highball glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon wedge and a whole cherry.
