Similar to a mojito, this can be made non-alcoholic if you like for a great summer bevy! NOTE: If your cherries aren't overly ripe, sweet and flavorful simply add a splash of Cherry Crystal Light (Kool-aid would be fine too) and it will be just perfect. Ingredients:
1 cup pitted fresh cherries (may use frozen cherries but they need to be thawed) |
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs for garnish |
8 teaspoons sugar |
6 ounces dark rum |
1/4 cup lime juice |
3 cups seltzer water (lime or cherry flavors would be great) |
Directions:
1. Divide cherries, mint leaves and sugar among 4 glasses.
2. Mash everything together with the back of a wooden spoon.
3. Stir in rum and lime juice.
4. Fill glasses with ice and top with seltzer.
5. Garnish with mint sprigs.
