Welcome Warm Weather with a Whiff of Black Cherry
Mark Thompson READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Days are getting warmer; nights are getting hotter.
Welcome the warmth of summer with a sparking Black Cherry Cooler from Effen Vodka.
One of the most elegant vodkas on the market, EFFEN� Black Cherry Vodka is smooth enough to be guzzled - but you'll look so much cooler sipping a tall, cool drink.
The lovely cherry vanilla finish lingers on your palate - making a smile the most natural follow-up to a long, cool sip.
Smile for summer.

1 part Cranberry Juice
3 parts maraschino cherries
