This is a delightful festive cherry sour using fresh cherries. The recipe features a homemade cherry syrup made by simmering sugar, water, and depitted cherries, then mashing and infusing the cherries before straining. The cocktail itself combines vodka, lemon juice, the homemade cherry syrup, and egg white, shaken until frothy, served cold with a touch of lemon bitters and cherry garnish.
