Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Simple Syrup

    Start by making the brown sugar simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts brown sugar and water (1:1 ratio). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool before using. You can store any extra syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Plantation Dark Rum, Punt e Mes, tart cherry juice, blood orange juice, and brown sugar simple syrup. Make sure to measure accurately for the best flavor.

  3. 3

    Shake with Ice

    Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, covering the liquid. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Ensure that no ice shards make their way into the glass for a smooth finish.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish your Cherry Bomb cocktail with a fresh cherry and a slice of blood orange on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the bold and fruity flavors!
