Step by Step Method
FOR THE RUM SOAKED CHERRIES
Step 1
Combine the cherries, rum and water in a glass container and let soak for a day, or at least a few hours. Will keep up to 4 days.
FOR THE COCKTAIL
Step 2
Pour the rum, liqueur and cane syrup into a mixing glass. Add dashes of both bitters.
Step 3
Add ice and stir gently to incorporate.
Step 4
Strain over a Double Rocks glass full of ice. The drink will appear “short,” but that's ok. The drink will also settle.
Step 5
Add the last dash of orange bitters. Garnish with a rum soaked cherry and a slice of orange on a skewer.
