Three readers love this post.
I have such an obsession with rainier cherries! Each year I look forward to the summer for cherries! Every farmers market and grocery store here in Seattle are stocked with these gems. I went down Pike Place Market to buy some cherries and as I walked out of the market I had already eaten a whole pound of cherries and had to go back for more! Lol Today I am sharing two of my favorite things palomas and cherries. This recipe is so good and if you can’t find rainier cherries you can use regular bing cherries. The cherries are muddled with the fresh grapefruit juice which make this drink so fresh and seasonal. Start your weekend off right and make this lovely Rainier Cherry Paloma!
