❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Cherry Vodka Sour
1. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
Fresh lemon juice is best for this recipe. Bottled juice often has preservatives that can change the flavor and make the drink taste flat.
2. What kind of cherry juice should I use?
Look for 100% tart cherry juice with no added sugar. You can find it in the juice aisle or near the health foods section. Sweet cherry juice will make the drink too sugary.
3. Can I make a big batch for a party?
Yes. Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. Mix everything in a pitcher and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. Pour over ice and garnish.
4. What if I do not have simple syrup?
You can make simple syrup by heating equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using. You could also use a little maple syrup or agave nectar.
5. Is there a non alcoholic version?
Absolutely. Just skip the vodka and add a splash of club soda or ginger ale for some fizz. It tastes like a fancy cherry lemonade.
