The Gift of Cherry
I received these as a Christmas gift from our daughter Megan, her husband, Andrew, son, Maddox, and dogs, Martha and Winnie. Since they are in Michigan, they opted for a themed gift. Lucky me. Over the last three years, I have really cut back on my alcohol consumption, save an occasional glass of Port or other red wine. No particular reason, just have. This, however,  has become my dessert…. a…

Sourz Cherry 70cl, Case of 6
The sour and sweet flavours in Sourz Cherry are wonderfully balanced. Rich black cherry and delicate berry flavours blended together. You can drink Sourz Cherry by itself or try it in a purple rain cocktail made with blue curacao and lemonade. Blue Rain Lemonade-topped Sourz Cherry and Blue Curacao drinks

Spring has sprung.
Tumblr media
It's Spring time in DC,which means we get to enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms. The weather wasn't so great this year,but they were still pretty.

And of course,there are Tiki drinks for this occasion.

Mix #160 Cherry Blossom
1.5oz white rum 1oz pineapple juice 1oz cream of coconut 3/4oz lime juice 1/2oz blue curacao 1/2oz cinnamon syrup
Shake well with plenty of ice and pour into hurricane glass.
Created by Justin Wojslaw,from the book Minimalist Tiki. Despite the name,there is no cherry in the drink,and it's actually turquoise colored instead of red. So it's pretty much the perfect drink for the way things work in DC. It's sweet and creamy with a cinnamon profile. Pretty good,if a bit touristy.
Tumblr media
Mix #161 Cherry Pie Tai
1.5oz Demerara rum 1/2oz rhum agricole 3/4oz Cherry Heering 3/4oz lemon juice 1/2oz orgeat
Shake with ice and pour into Mai Tai glass.
I love Mai Tais,so a cherry version was perfect to go with the blossoms. Created by Nathan Robinson,it pretty much tastes like a tart cherry Mai Tai. Quite nice.
Mix #162 Paradise Cooler
2oz white rum 1/2oz Cherry Heering 1oz velvet falernum 2oz orange juice 1oz lime juice
Shake with ice and pour into double old fashioned glass. Garnish with cherry speared with an apple slice.
This was the house drink of the Denver Hilton in the 1960's. It's tart and citrus-y with some spice and a bit of cherry finish. Very nice. A good Tiki drink for cherry fans.
Tumblr media
Mix #163 Hemingway Daiquiri
2oz white rum 3/4oz lime juice 1/2oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz maraschino liqueur*
Shake with ice until chilled,then strain into coupe glass.
*I used Cherry Heering.
So,the story goes that Ernest Hemingway went into the El Floridita bar in Havana to use the restroom. On the way out the bartender was setting up a line of daiquiris and Hemingway decided to try one. He commented that it wasn't bad,but he preferred twice the rum and no sugar. So the bartender made one his way and named the drink after him. And over time it has morphed into the recipe above. No idea if any of this is true,but it's a good story. Since Ernest was a man's man,I decided to use Smith & Cross navy rum instead of white rum. The result was a VERY tart drink. And I used Heering which is sweeter than maraschino liqueur. I didn't want Ernest's ghost to haunt me and call me a wuss,so I finished it,but if I were ever to make another I'd definitely dump in some simple syrup. If tart's your thing,then you might like this.
Tumblr media
Mix #164 Ankle Breaker
1oz 151 rum* 1oz Cherry Heering 1oz lemon juice 1/2 oz simple syrup
Shake with ice and pour into double rocks glass.
*I used Wray & Nephew Overproof.
I came across this recipe in a Facebook group. According to Beachbum Berry's book Remixed,this was created in the Swamp Fox Room bar in the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina sometime in the 1950's. It was inspired by a story about hero of the Revolutionary War,General Francis Marion(AKA,the Swamp Fox),who supposedly broke his ankle jumping from a second-story window of the hotel while trying “to escape sober from a party at which this drink was flowing too freely.” Again,no idea if this is true but a good story is a good story. While 151 rum is intended for this,the poster used Wray & Nephew Overproof(which is "only" 126 proof) and since I have W&N and have been meaning to use it more,I used it too. And since I like funk I also doubled down and used Demerara syrup instead of regular simple. Very nice. This drink is very daiquiri-like. The rum really came forward with just a bit of cherry finish. Of course with overproof rum it had some kick. I'm going to make this again with some other rums just to play around with it.
So until next time,have a cocktail and enjoy the pretty flowers.
