Indulge in this seasonal Daiquiri delight
Cherries are only with us for a short season between June and July, the time is now! This little red devil pairs well with caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, citrus and vanilla. So get this cocktail down you while they are at their best. This cocktail was a hit in the bars during the early 20s when Sailor Jerry's was at its epic height of popularity.
Enjoy this rich pairing of sweet, slightly aged rum and seasonal dark cherries. Combining sweet vanilla spiced rum and demerara sugar for a rich, fruity twist on the classic Daiquiri.
