This recipe for Maraschino Cherries in Rose Wine is ideal for a sweet and refreshing summer drink. The cherries are soaked in a sweet and spicy syrup before being combined with a bottle of dry rose wine to make a delectably fruity cocktail.
Instructions: Combine the granulated sugar, water, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the maraschino cherries. Stir the cherries in the syrup to coat them. Fill a large glass jar or pitcher halfway with dry rose wine. Transfer the maraschino cherries and cinnamon stick to the jar or pitcher with the rose wine using a slotted spoon. Pour the saucepan syrup over the cherries and wine. Refrigerate the jar or pitcher, covered with plastic wrap or a lid, for at least 2 hours or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish the maraschino cherries and rose wine in glasses or goblets with more cherries and a sprig of fresh mint.
