Note: The “spicy” part is optional; just leave out the cayenne.
Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon honey
- Dash of cayenne pepper {optional}
- ½ lemon, juiced
- Splash of sweet vermouth
- 1 ½ ounces bourbon
- Ice
- Club soda
Directions:
In a cocktail glass, muddle the cherries with honey, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and sweet vermouth. Then add in bourbon and stir. Top with ice and a splash of club soda.
Enjoy responsibly!
