Here’s a tasty beverage I’m calling Hope Rides Alone: one part sour cherry cordial, two parts vodka, tonic to taste, and a single cherry. (I used an Ole Smoky Moonshine cherry, but any cherry will do.)

Many red cocktails get their color from grenadine or fruit juice, which often makes them rather too sweet for my taste. But this has quite a kick and only the faintest touch of sweetness, thanks to the sour cherry and tonic flavors. A good choice if you’ve had a really shitty day at work, or if a crowd of apathetic bystanders just watched while you were destroyed by robots.
