2/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup grapefruit juice
2 Tablespoons sugar
Bottled cherries for garnish, pitted drained

Recipe Notes: Gin Fizzes are light, refreshing sour-based cocktails with the usual addition of club soda, lemon juice or other citrus ingredients. A gin fizz is a good thirst-quencher for warmer months, but this is a good, easy drink to put together all year round. This recipe is a sweeter adaptation from usual Gin Fizzes.
