REFRESHING ACEROLA COCKTAIL

Enjoy the summer with this refreshing, lovely, and smooth acerola cocktail. Though not a traditional Dominican cocktail, I love how all the ingredients in it are part of our cultural repertoire. Great use of cerezas dominicanas and a great drink to toast to a fun summer.

– 4 cups acerola (Barbados cherries), washed – ¼ cup sugar (white, granulated), or to taste – Juice of 4 limes – 2 cups Dominican white rum, [50 Centiliters] – Ice

Combine acerola and 2 cups [50 Centiliters] of water in the blender, and blend until the pulp is slightly broken down, leaving the seeds as whole as possible. Sieve with a medium-mesh sieve, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Add ¼ cup of sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the lime juice and check again for sweetness, adding more sugar to taste (it must be a bit too sweet because the rum will lower the sweetness again). Add the rum and stir to combine.

Add the ice and either serve right away, or blend it to make it into a frappe.
