Cherry Rum Cocktail

Today was, as it turned out, cocktail day. A friend dropped by about 3:30 and I persuaded her to share a Southern Comfort Manhattan that I described yesterday. It was just as good! We were joined by our good friends from next door after that. I was able to talk them into sharing another Southern Comfort Cocktail as well as a 'Cherry Rum Cocktail'  (page 60 in the Bartender's Guide).

It wasn't my all-time favorite drink but we all enjoyed it.

The recipe:

1 1/4 oz Rum (Ronrico)
1 1/2 oz Cherry Brandy (LeRoux)
1 tablespoon Light Cream (I used whipping cream instead)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

A votre sante!
