The Scarlet Tide
Scaled for 1 serving. If you're looking for a bright, refreshing cherry experience beyond Luxardo's herbal notes, this daiquiri variation brings a more direct, juicy cherry flavor from a rich cherry liqueur, perfectly balanced by fresh lime and aged rum. Just grab some Cherry Heering, and you're set!

History
A delightful rum sour, this cocktail reimagines the classic Daiquiri by swapping out simple syrup for Cherry Heering. This provides a wonderfully rich, fruit-forward cherry sweetness that is brighter and more overtly cherry than Luxardo, showcasing another facet of the fruit.
