An ice-cold beer slush is the base for this adult cocktail. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add a wheat-rich bourbon; if you prefer a spicier flavor, use a rye-rich bourbon. Either way, this slush goes down smoothly.

• Two bottles (330 ml each) of American lager (bottom-fermented beer), such as Budweiser
• 12 fresh or frozen pitted cherries
• 90 ml orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
• 300 ml sweet vermouth
• 250 ml bourbon
• 2 tbsp. bitters
