If you're like us, you're trying to figure out how to keep summer around for as long as possible.
Gastronomista editor Elizabeth Arden Welles puts a fresh spin on classic cocktails that might help you do so, seeing as their kick comes from an unlikely summertime ingredient: roasted cherries.
In the video below, produced by Savuer magazine, Welles serves up a roasted cherry vodka old fashioned, a cherry shandy and a roasted cherry coconut-colada.
To roast cherries, you can grill them for 10 minutes, or cut them in half, pit them and roast them in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

Rather than being overtly sweet, Welles' cocktails are well-balanced and delicious -- and they might just help stave off those wintry blues.
