I was looking at my maraschino cherries that I soak each year in Grand Marnier and then dip in chocolate and got the inspiration for this cocktail. Something red and festive, sweet but yet still refreshing and light tasting. I threw around some ideas in my head and came up with this cocktail. It is oh so good and perfect to celebrate the holidays with. I added one of my soaked Grand Marnier cherries for the garnish but you can just add a plain one, just as effective.
- ½ oz. Grenadine
- 1 oz. Grand Marnier
- 1 oz. Kirsch
- Club Soda
- Orange Slice and Cherry to garnish
- Mix Grenadine, Grand Marnier and Kirsch and divide between two glasses over ice. Top with club soda, stir gently and garnish with the orange and cherry.

In honor of the Sandy Hook victims and their families, we have cancelled our regularly scheduled #SundaySupper Chat this week.
Let this be a time when we renew our faith in the power of love and realize the importance of time with our families.





Such a festive drink for the holidays, especially with the color. Oh, and I’m loving those little cocktail shakers.
I have been given those little shaker ornaments as gifts. Thanks for coming over Renee!
Looks like a great holiday drink. I love pretty colored fizzy beverages!
I am all over holiday cocktails, so much fun!!

You are right, I never thought of it that way Jen, but in the States you don’t fill it with orange juice like we do here in Canada.

How cool! This drink *looks* like the “Kiddie Cocktails” I would get when we went to the Friday Fish Fry at Benedetti’s Supper Club when I was a kid, with the cherry and orange slice done that way – but this is definitely not a kiddie drink! It looks scrumptious!
Thanks so much Conni, I am glad it is evoking some memories for you.
What a gorgeous, festive cocktail, Tara! Sounds delish, too!
Thanks so much for coming over Liz!! Happy Holidays!

I am totally loving all the drinks & cocktails for this week’s Sunday Supper and yours, Tara, looks fabulous! I can almost taste it reading your description: “sweet but yet still refreshing and light tasting.” I could really use one of these on this dreary Monday morning. Happy holidays!
Thanks so much Nancy, I wish I could send you one. LOL Happy Holidays!!!
The Cherry Bomb looks like a great update of my Shirley Temple childhood favorite. Love the idea of rolling Grand Marnier soaked maraschino cherries in chocolate, too!
I have done the cherries for ever. We start to soak them the beginning of November. I take out half the juice that the maraschino cherries are in and replace it with Grand Marnier. Thanks for coming over!
