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

• 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)

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!
