CAROUSE Cherry Sour recipe:
Ingredients:
- 50 ml CAROUSE DRIFT
- 12 ml fresh lemon juice
- 12 ml aquafaba
- 12 ml cherry simple syrup
Instructions:
- Combine the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour in 50 ml of CAROUSE DRIFT, 12 ml of fresh lemon juice, 12 ml of aquafaba, and 12 ml of cherry simple syrup.
- Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and give it a vigorous shake. This step is crucial for blending all the flavors and creating that signature frothy texture.
- Strain and Serve: Once the mix is well-shaken, strain it into a glass filled with ice. This ensures your drink is refreshingly chilled and ready to be enjoyed.
- Garnish and enjoy: To add that final touch of elegance and flavor, garnish your CAROUSE Cherry Sour with either half a cherry or a twist of lemon peel. This not only enhances the presentation but also introduces a subtle aroma that complements the taste.
Making Your Own Cherry Simple Syrup:
You have the option to use store-bought cherry syrup, but why not try making your own! Here's how:
- In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add a handful of fresh cherries to the mixture and a dash of vanilla extract for that extra layer of flavour.
- Simmer the concoction over low heat for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly, and the cherries release their sweet essence into the syrup.
- Once done, strain the syrup to remove any cherry solids, and you're left with a delectable homemade cherry syrup ready for your Carouse Cherry Sour.
The CAROUSE Cherry Sour is more than just a cocktail; it's an experience. With its vibrant colour, frothy texture, and the sweet-tart harmony of cherry and lemon, it's no wonder this drink has been gaining fame on TikTok's "Sleepy Girl" scene. We hope you enjoy!
