I was looking at the 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 Cherry Bomb 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.

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!
Noshing with the Nolands says
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!

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!
