, a simple mix of whiskey, muddled lemon, mint, and simple syrup topped with a mound of crushed ice. The drink is boozy, sure, but the crushed ice and sugary lemon juice mixture that forms the base of the drink makes it surprisingly refreshing.
I opted to swap out whiskey for dark rum—both are potent brown spirits, but rum's underlying sweetness makes for a cocktail I can enjoy more than one of during an afternoon by the pool.

Beautiful cherries are available at seemingly every turn this time of year, an embarrassment of ruby riches at local grocery stores and farmer's markets. Here, they lend a great color and, depending on what type of fresh cherries you've got on hand, a tart, sweet, or sour flavor.
Mix all that together, pour it in an Old Fashioned glass, and pile the thing high with crushed ice. Be prepared for a dangerously drinkable cocktail—just try to remember that, yes, there's actually alcohol in it.
