Reggae Ruby

3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup
5 Cherry (Bing or Rainier)

Muddle cherries well at the bottom of shaker.
Add other ingredients.
Shake well with ice.
Strain over large ice cube in a double old fashioned glass.
Optional garnish with 3 skewered cherries.

Notes

Funky cherry fruit punch with an herbal bitter finish.

History

This is a refreshing riff on the Enzoni by Vincenzo "Enzo" Errico which incorporates daiquiri with fresh cherries instead of a gin sour with grapes. A smashable summer drink that I go to whenever cherries are in season!

  • Good but too bitter and rum is a bit too funky. I'll try with appleton next. Worth fiddling with, love the idea.

Funny enough I experimented with Plantation 5, Bacardi 8, Appleton, and settled on S&C because I figured rum enthusiasts here would prefer the funkier higher proof kick. This might be smoother:
1-1⁄2 oz Aged rum (Appleton?)
1⁄2 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
5 muddled cherries
