Cherry Wild Tonic
An evening walk down the wild trails of the south. The fresh sweetness of cherry embraces the citrus notes of pink grapefruit and the resinous perfume of wild thyme, weathered by the winds of the steppe.

Cherry Wild Tonic
Balloon glass (or a large red wine glass)
Step by Step
Fill the balloon glass to the top with solid ice, swirl it for a few seconds to chill the glass, and discard the water that pools at the bottom.
Pour the 60 ml of Alma Roja over the ice.
Pour the tonic very gently, tilting the glass to keep the bubbles intact.
Cut a piece of pink grapefruit peel and fold it over the glass to express its essential oils onto the surface; run it around the rim and drop it in.
Gently clap the sprig of thyme between your hands to release its aroma and tuck it into the glass, near the rim.
Garnish with the fresh cherries on the surface and stir once with a spoon, very gently.
Tap each step to check it off as you make it.
