It’s kinda sorta almost the weekend…certainly time to indulge in a Very Cherry Martini. Don’t ya think?!
Recently I visited tart cherry orchards in Northern Michigan. I went there loving cherries & left there loving them even more. What better than a martini to showcase this fruits bold ‘n beautiful flavor?
These are the last few weeks of a sizzlin’ summer…indulge yourself with this skinny treat.
These are super simple cocktails to make if you are entertaining…or just hanging out banging on the keys.
Follow my Very Cherry Pinterest board for inspiration too.
This would be a fun cocktail for any kind of celebration…from a mid morning brunch to a shower, wedding or birthday party.
Grey Goose Cherry Noir is lovely in this cocktail. If you can not find this delicately flavored vodka then go for a plain one.
You can experiment with other liquors as well. You guys are good like that!
I mixed tart cherry juice with sweet cherry fizzy water.
The cherry flavor is huge as you might imagine.
This is a rather sweet cocktail…not like some of my other creations which are a tad less so.
Vanilla Sugar on the rim of the glass adds a special touch.
Enjoy your cherry martinis!

Beautiful Cherry Martinis, Marla! Cannot wait to try them. Love how you concocted this cocktail. And, as always, gorgeous and inviting photography! Pinning! xo
Thanks Stacy….you are more than welcome any time to join me for one!
It must be very refreshing 😀
Growing up, I had 3 tart cherry trees in the garden, so having fresh tart cherries in the summer was just a normal thing for us! These days, it’s impossible to find fresh tart cherries in a store. I love tart cherries, they are so soft, you can easily squeeze them to make juice. This martini is gorgeous, definitely pinned!
Gorgeous drinks, Marla!! I bet that tart cherry flavor is amazing!
Stunning photos, I need one of these!
really pretty!!
All cherry? Now I wish I hadn’t finished my bottle of cherry noir on stupid stuff. I’ll just have to buy more & locate some of that sparkling cherry juice.
Indeed you do!!!
Looks SO delicious, Marla!
Oh cherries, my love! We had them in a cobbler last night. Loving the look of this drink.
Ooooooo> LOVE cherry cobbler!
Soooo jealous that you got to visit the cherry orchards. That would be amazing!! The cocktail looks delicious, and your photos are beautiful as always.
Purdy!!!
Best martini ever. I think I need one right now at 11AM.
Cherry martini? Yes, please! A woman after my own heart 🙂 Pinned!
Yuuummmm, you had me at Grey Goose Vodka and your photos are marvelous!!!
I can never get enough of cherries during summer, especially in cocktail form!
Wow, this is an amazing drink Marla! I have trouble drinking martini, too strong sometimes, but with cherries…so perfect! And the color too. Thanks for the shout out!
