This summertime cocktail is a cross between a classic lemon drop and an aviation--The addition of a heavenly Luxardo maraschino cherry and a splash of homemade selzer water softens the strong flavors of the lemon and vodka and gives a nice softness to the sugary simple syrup. This drink is fantastic served in a martini glass with the cherry resting at the bottom, or over ice. I coat the rim of each glass with lemon juice and sugar, or as requested on one very festive day--pop rocks candy! —SarahRey
