16 oz frozen pitted cherries, thawed overnight (save the juices)
1 ½ cups silver tequila
1 cup Cointreau or orange triple-sec
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup unsweetened or sweetened cherry juice
simple syrup or agave, to taste
limes and cherries for garnish
Blend the thawed cherries in a blender on high speed until its pulverized.
Add all of the ingredients to a pitcher with ice and stir well.
Serve with fresh limes and cherries.
I say add simple syrup to taste because I don't like a lot of sweetness in this cocktail. The cherries are sweet so you may not need much added sweetner.
