Cherry Bourbon Smash

Muddle the cherries, basil, thyme leaves, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a cocktail shaker or glass jar, ensuring everything is well crushed to release the flavors.

Add the bourbon, Cointreau, and white wine vinegar to the mixture.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.

Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass.

Top with ginger beer to add a refreshing fizz.

Garnish with a sprig of basil and place a cherry on top for a visual flourish.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
