I love easy cocktails that don't require fancy equipment or specialty ingredients I'll use once and then forget about! Some of my favorites are the Vegas Bomb, the amaretto sour, and the White Russian. I make this cherry bomb drink every year for my 4th of July party and it's always the first pitcher empty!

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

ingredients including white rum, grenadine, sprite, cherries, limes, and lime juice.
  • Rum: Choose a light (also called white) rum for a neutral sweet flavor. We like Bacardi. Captain Morgan white is also good.
  • Soda: We like Sprite, but use any lemon lime soda you like. You could even use ginger ale if you prefer a slightly less sweet drink.
  • Limes: Fresh lime juice tastes best. Look for smooth limes that feel heavy for their size.
    • To get the most juice roll it on the counter to break its juice sacs and/or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to squeeze.
