List of Ingredients
1 bunch fresh mint (about 1-1/2 cups sprigs)
3 cups Bacardi Limon rum
2 cups sugar
2 cups fresh lime juice
1/4 cup cherry liqueur (such as Maraska Maraschino or other high-quality, clear cherry liqueur)
3 cups pitted fresh cherries
2 (10-ounce) bottles club soda
Loads of ice!
Fresh mint sprigs
Fresh cherries on the stem
Recipe
In a non-corrosive container, such as a large glass pitcher, combine the mint, rum, sugar, lime juice, liqueur and pitted fresh cherries. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
For each serving: Fill a large rocks glass or tumbler with ice, and measure in 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of the rum mixture, being sure to get some of the cherries into each glass. Top with 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of soda water. Stir, then garnish with a mint sprig and a cherry.
Makes about 10 servings.
NOTE: The cherry-rum mixture can be made up to 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated -- the flavors will just get better and better.
