  • >> Hilah: Hey dudes!

  • I am Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I’ve got a last minute Valentine’s Day surprise

  • for you, a vodka cherry limeade cocktail.

  • I’ve gotten a few requests for more cocktails and like I do not pretend to be a bartendress

  • or a bartender, or a bar firmer, but this vodka cherry limeade is really good and you

  • know, whatever nothing says love like vodka right?

  • [MUSIC]

  • [Vodka Cherry Limeade]

  • >> Hilah: Okay, so the first thing we want to put our vodka in.

  • I have got some ice in my shaker here, and if you don’t have a shaker you could totally

  • just do this in a glass with some ice, or dispense with the cocktail altogether and

  • just drink vodka because youre all alone on Valentine’s Day.

  • Okay, then I’ve got some straight-up cherry juice.

  • This is the juice of virgin cherries right here.

  • Okay, and then some lime juice.

  • Let’s see how much I can get out of this mangy old lime.

  • Perfecto!

  • And then some sweetened lime juice if you don’t have this, I mean just, you can buy

  • this whatever, I’ve had this in my fridge for probably 10 years.

  • But you can find it easily.

  • If you don’t want to buy it though, you can totally just make some simple syrup.

  • It’s just equal parts sugar and water cooked over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves,

  • and then you cool it off.

  • Easy sleazy!

  • So, shake it.

  • And before I pour it I have a special surprise, hold on.

  • Okay, I found this little heart-shaped silicone, ice cube mold, so I made some little cherry

  • ice cubes with just like freeze some water, add a cherry once it’s frozen, and then

  • add some more whatever, and whatever, and I made some with grenadine just for the color.

  • I really hate how grenadine tastes, but anyway it’s cute, heart-shaped, blah blah.

  • Oh, and then you can see the little cherries floating around in there.

  • I am going to add a couple of little like green, bloop!

  • And then I’ve got you know, a couple of those guys, bloop!

  • Yay!

  • There you go.

  • It’s a little Valentine’s cherry vodka limeade cocktail for you and your sweet or

  • just for you.

  • It just depends on your plans that night.

  • Mmmmmmm!

  • Delightful!

  • Refreshing.

  • I love that cherry juice in there, so there you go.

  • I hope that tides you over, all you drunkards and hobos out there, but have a great weekend!

  • If you have any questions, leave them below in the comments, and I will see

  • you guys next week!

  • Bye!
