Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 cup frozen Bing cherries (unsweetened)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp simple syrup (optional)
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Optional garnish: fresh cherries (pitted), lime wedges, mint leaves
Instructions
- Measure 2 oz white rum and 1 oz fresh lime juice. Prepare simple syrup if using by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat, then cool.
- Place 1 cup frozen Bing cherries into the blender. Add 1 tbsp simple syrup if a sweeter drink is desired.
- Pour the rum and lime juice over the cherries.
- Add 1 cup crushed ice to the blender.
- Pulse the blender on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and frothy, with a thick but pourable consistency. Adjust thickness by adding water, lime juice, cherries, or ice as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup, rum, or a pinch of sugar, blending briefly again.
- Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with a fresh cherry, lime wedge, or mint sprig if desired.
Notes
Use crushed ice instead of cubes for a smooth, slushy texture. Frozen Bing cherries are preferred for natural sweetness and rich flavor. Chill ingredients and glassware beforehand for best results. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or natural sweeteners. For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add sparkling water or cherry juice.
