I would like to share a refreshing summer cocktail I put together called Lush Chiaro, lol. When I’m not drinking wine, this is the most delicious thing to drink during my home events or backyard barbecues. The recipe makes one serving, but you can adjust accordingly and make more.

Lush Chiaro

1 cherry (remove stem and seed)
1 strawberry
1/2 medium lemon, cut 1 wedge
1 shot of Ciroc Summer Citrus
1/2 cup of pineapple mango juice, or as needed
1/2 cup of ice cubes, or as needed

1. Use a mortar and pestle to crush the cherry, strawberry and lemon wedge. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, use the end of a wooden spoon instead and a small bowl.

2. Remove the lemon wedge from the mortar.

3. Add the crushed cherry, strawberry with lemon juices, 1 shot of Ciroc Summer Citrus and 1/2 cup of pineapple mango juice to the cup of ice cubes.

4. Stir, taste and enjoy!

Do you like red wine? I'm a guy who likes red wine, not white, red with basically any food or just sitting around. ​Leave a comment about a wine you'd recommend, red or white.
