Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 1/2 oz white rum
  • 1/2 oz cherry liqueur
  • 3/4 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 oz cherry syrup or maraschino syrup
  • Ice
  • Cocktail cherries to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Chill a coupe glass in the freezer.
  • Add the rum, cherry liqueur, lime juice, and cherry syrup to a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of ice.
  • Shake hard for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Strain into the chilled coupe glass.
  • Garnish with a cocktail cherry.

Notes

  • Cherry Syrup: Full recipe at cherry simple syrup. Keeps in the fridge for two weeks. The syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries works as a substitute.
  • Shake hard for a full 15 seconds - you want the drink properly cold.
