Anyone ever try a claret cup?
I just heard it mentioned,and I'd never heard of it before. Here are a couple recipes I found online. It sounds okay.

Claret Cup Recipe

¼ oz Maraschino
1 tsp Simple Syrup
½ oz Lemon Juice
Dash Angostura Bitters
Top Club Soda

Instructions: Combine all ingredients, except club soda, in a shaker tin with ice. Stir until well chilled and strain into a highball glass with fresh ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with cucumber, mint and optionally strawberries, blueberries or other fruit.
