R-E-D-R-U-M Cocktail image

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.

Time 5m

Yield 8 oz, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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)

Steps:

  • In a cocktail shaker, mash together strawberries and raspberry preserves.
  • Stir in blood orange juice.
  • Pour in brandy and rum.
  • Add crushed ice and shake.
  • Strain into a tall glass (filled with ice or not).
  • Top with club soda and the juice from a key lime.
  • Float a scoop of your favorite fruit sorbet or sherbet, if desired. It helps sweeten this slightly tart/bitter drink.
  • Garnish with red fruits (strawberry, blood orange wedge, cherries, raspberries, etc.), if desired.
  • Enjoy!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this cocktail, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great balance of sweet and sour, and the grenadine adds a nice pop of color.

The REDRUM cocktail is a delicious and refreshing drink. The combination of vodka, cranberry juice, lemon juice, and lime juice is perfect, and the grenadine adds a nice touch of sweetness.
