What cocktails can I make with cherry syrup and bourbon for a hot summer day?

If you're looking for a refreshing cocktail that features cherry syrup and bourbon, especially suited for a hot summer day, there are a couple of excellent choices.

One standout option is the Mr Manhattan. This cocktail, which gained fame from "Sex and the City 2," is a simple yet elegant drink that combines cherry vodka with bourbon, giving you that desired cherry flavor. It has an impressive rating of 4.23/5, making it a top-rated option. The cola adds a fizzy and refreshing element to the rich and slightly sweet cherry flavor, making it an enjoyable drink for summer.

Another great choice could be the Wild Cherry Manhattan. This cocktail incorporates maraschino cherry juice with bourbon and red vermouth, balancing the rich warmth of bourbon with fruity and herbal notes. It's a flavorful twist on the classic Manhattan, delivering a sweet and sophisticated cocktail perfect for a summer evening. Its 3.52/5 rating suggests it's well-liked, albeit not as highly rated as the Mr Manhattan.
