Equipment
2 Coupe Cocktail glasses or Martini Glasses
1 Cocktail Shaker with Lid
Jigger for measuring spirits
Cutting board and knife for cutting fruit
Ingredients
- 2 large Fresh Strawberries - cut into quarters
- 2 tbsp Maraschino Cherry Syrup
- 2 oz Spiced Rum or White Rum - Such as Captain Morgan or Bacardi White Rum
- 1½ oz Blood Orange Juice - fresh-squeezed
- 1 oz Izze Sparkling Pomegranate Juice - for topping off
- 1 oz Rosé Champagne or Sparkling Rosé Wine - for topping off
Instructions
- Make a cocktail rim by rubbing your glasses with a lemon wedge or dipping in light corn syrup and dipping into red and pink sanding sugars. Set your glasses in the freezer.
- In a mixing glass, muddle the fresh strawberry chunks until crushed and juicy. Next, splash in the fresh squeezed lemon juice and splash in a bright red syrup from your bottle of Maraschino Cherries.
- Now add the rum to the mixing glass. Fill your mixing glass about 3/4 of the way with fresh ice and cover.
- Shake these ingredients together well until thoroughly mixed and totally chilled through. Now, using a cocktail strainer, strain this mixture into your chilled coupe glasses.
- Lastly, top off each cocktail with a splash of Izze sparkling pomegranate juice. Finish the Valentine’s rum cocktail by floating a little Rosé Champagne or (rosé sparkling wine) right over the top of each cocktail. Serve nice and chilled.
