Cherry Rum is a creamy, fruity cocktail belonging to the Cream Cocktail family. Its origins are unknown, but its simple composition suggests a likely birth in the mid-20th century, a time when creamy cocktails like the White Russian were gaining popularity.
Cherry Rum is a delightful blend of sweet and creamy notes. The light rum provides a smooth, slightly spicy base, while the cherry brandy adds a vibrant, fruity burst. The light cream softens the edges, creating a luxuriously smooth texture and balancing the sweetness. This cocktail is reminiscent of a cherry cordial with a boozy kick, perfect for those seeking a sweet and comforting drink.
Use a high-quality light rum for a clean base. Ensure the cherry brandy is sweet and fruity, not too bitter. Shake with ice to chill thoroughly, then strain into a chilled glass. A light touch with the cream is key: a small amount adds richness without overpowering the rum and cherry. Garnish with a cherry or a cherry-infused sugar rim.
