{Delicious End to Summer - Cherry Gin-Gria}

Cherry syrup lends this drink a sweet, fruity essence that gets amplified by the florals in the gin. A float of red wine on top and a scattering of frozen berries inside make it the perfect quicker, stronger alternative to sangria

Ice cubes
2 ounces cherry syrup (recommended: Giammona)
2 ounces gin
5 to 6 ounces club soda
1 ounce red wine
Maraschino cherries
Fresh or frozen raspberries
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cherry syrup and the gin; stir to mix together. Lighten the drink with a generous splash of soda. Float a layer of red wine on top by pouring it over the back of a wide, flat spoon. (Don't worry if it doesn't float; it tastes great either way.) Drop a few maraschino cherries and raspberries into the glass. Drink.
