FAQs: Cocktails with Cherry Garnish

Ten To One rum cocktails are elevated with the addition of cherries, from the bold Coffee Rum Old Fashioned to the rich Filthy Black Cherry Rum Old Fashioned and the classic Rum Manhattan. Each cherry garnish adds a layer of flavor and elegance, making these drinks even more memorable.
The cherries commonly used for garnish in cocktails are Maraschino cherries, though some drinks may call for black cherries or Amarena cherries. Maraschino cherries bring a sweet, bright note, while black cherries offer a richer, deeper flavor, and Amarena cherries add a tart, slightly sweet complexity.
The dark cocktail cherries are typically called black cherries or Amarena cherries. Amarena cherries, in particular, are known for their deep color, rich flavor, and slightly tart, sweet profile, making them a popular choice for elevating cocktails.

Amazing winter riff on an Old Fashioned! To step it up even more I like to garnish mine with 3 coffee beans on top of the large ice cube.

Nikki Jo

I’m a sucker for a whiskey cocktail but this was a great twist on a classic. The usual Manhattan suspects – sweet vermouth,orange bitters, maraschino cherry – mixed with Ten To One dark rum in place of a rye – delicious!

Sean

I’ve been a bartender for 15 years and my test for a rum is always a Daiquiri test. Then once it passes that, it has to be amazing in a Hemingway Daiquiri. Man, Ten To One White is probably the best Hemingway Daiq I’ve ever had. As soon as it becomes available in Boston, this will be my bar’s go-to rum.

Mallory

I love rye manhattans and It never occurred to me to try it with Rum. I love drinking Ten To One Dark in Old Fashioneds, but I do not know why I haven’t tried it in a Manhattan. I am glad I did. This is so delicious. I will be drinking rum manhattans going forward.

I’ve had Rye Manhattans before but never Rum Manhattans! I love Ten To One Dark and never put the thought together to put it in a Manhattan. This is such a fantastic pairing. I think Rum Manhattans will be my new cocktail.

Old Fashioneds are my go to drink, but I had never used rum before. I was AMAZED at how good this was. Tried it because it is aged in bourbon barrels and if you like whiskey like I do, this will shock you
