Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet cherries, pitted and halved
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cherry eau die vie (kirsch)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 6 cups crushed ice
- Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the cherries, 2 tablespoons sugar and cherry eau die vie in a bowl and muddle using a muddler or a potato masher, leaving some chunks in the cherries. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the cherries to break down and the juice to flow.
- Whip the cream to super soft peaks with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Add the crushed ice to the cherries and toss well. Divide among 4 small bowls and top with a few tablespoons of the loosely whipped cream. Garnish with mint.

Reviews
This is was super easy, refreshing and most importantly, delicious! My family loved it. I didn’t have kirsch on hand like I thought so I used a few tablespooons of amaretto and creme de cassis. Huge rave, I’ll be making it again!
