Maraschino Cherry Shake

I just realized that, since summer is coming up, I should start posting some in-season recipes. So, here's another milkshake recipe to cool you off!

Pretty please? With a cherry on top?

Maraschino Cherry Shake:

• 2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries, liquid drained and reserved
• 1/3 cup maraschino cherry juice
• 1 1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream
• whipped topping (optional)

1 whole maraschino cherry (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Blend cherries, cherry juice and ice cream in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Pour into 4 (12 oz.) glasses. Top with whipped topping if desired and garnish with whole maraschino cherries.
