I prefer to strain out the muddled cherries, I'd suggest garnishing with a 
fresh cherry.  

In Dale DeGroff's "The Craft of the Cocktail" he suggests the same thing for 
making Old-Fashioneds: muddling the slice of orange and cherry with bitters 
and sugar, adding ice and whiskey, stirring in the mixing glass (or shaker) 
and then straining over fresh ice and garnishing with an undamaged orange 
slice and cherry.  

I do leave the muddled limes in when I do mojitos and Caipirinhas, however.
