This fruity drink is a crime of passion and will have you seeing red. It was inspired by RSC#11 ingredients but not entered because there are so many people that don't drink alcohol. It's dedicated to Stephen King. I think the raspberry preserves are a nice substitute for grenadine. Ingredients:
3 fresh strawberries, hulled |
2 tablespoons seedless red raspberry preserves |
3 ounces blood orange juice (i found a bottle at trader joe's) |
1/2 ounce cherry brandy, kirsberry (optional) |
1/2 ounce brandy, favorite cognac |
1/2 ounce dark rum |
1/2 ounce malibu rum, passionfruit |
crushed ice |
club soda, to top |
key lime, to squeeze over top |
fruit sorbet (optional but recommended) or fruit sherbet, to float-use favorite flavor but you might consider a red one (optional but recommended) |
red fruit, to garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a cocktail shaker, mash together strawberries and raspberry preserves.
2. Stir in blood orange juice.
3. Pour in brandy and rum.
4. Add crushed ice and shake.
5. Strain into a tall glass (filled with ice or not).
6. Top with club soda and the juice from a key lime.
7. Float a scoop of your favorite fruit sorbet or sherbet, if desired. It helps sweeten this slightly tart/bitter drink.
8. Garnish with red fruits (strawberry, blood orange wedge, cherries, raspberries, etc.), if desired.
9. Enjoy!
