Kentucky Cousin: You’ll Want a Kiss

Saw this one posted on Food and Wine and it looks fab:

4 mint leaves, plus 1 mint sprig
3 lemon slices
4 brandied cherries
1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
1 cup ice
2 ounces bourbon
1/2 ounce Cherry Heering or cherry liqueur
1 ounce chilled brewed black tea
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves with 2 lemon slices, 3 cherries and the Simple Syrup. Add the ice, bourbon, Cherry Heering, tea and lemon juice. Shake well and pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with the mint sprig and remaining lemon slice and cherry.

And a cherry on top, just the way we like it at the bourbonhours.
