Fresh Fruit Cocktails
Last week, my CSA included a pound of organic bing cherries, which is why July is one of my favorite months! You can buy fresh cherries for around $3 a bag, as opposed to $10 when they’re not in season.
I snacked on a lot of the cherries at work, but saved a few to make a cherry bomb cocktail! My boyfriend and I enjoyed these drinks on a lazy Sunday afternoon 🙂
If you’re looking for a fresh tasting and vibrant cocktail, you will love this cherry bomb drink!
Cherry Bomb Drink
To make this summer cocktail, you start by adding cherries that have been cut in half and pitted, with the steps removed. Add the lemon, lime, and mint leaves.
If you have a muddler, you can use it to muddle the ingredients together. If not, use the end of a wooden spoon to muddle.
Strain the liquid into a shaker filled with ice. Add in rum and a dash of Angostura bitters.
Shake well to mix and cool, then strain into a glass of ice. Garnish with a fresh cherry and a mint leaf!
