In a cocktail shaker or large glass, muddle the mint and lemon juice together.
Add the cherry juice, vodka, and a scoop of ice. Shake until very cold, approximately 30 seconds.
Fill your cocktail glass with ice.
Strain the cherry cocktail over the ice.
Garnish with brandied cherries. Serve.
Notes
Because this cocktail does not have any bubbly ingredient, it can be made in a large batch in advance which makes a perfect Halloween party punch!If you do not have a muddler, you can use the back end of a wood spoon or something similar.Brandied Cherriesare the perfect garnish!
