DrinkWire is Liquor.com’s showcase for the best articles, recipes and reviews from the web’s top writers and bloggers. In this post, Bloomery SweetShine offers a rum smash.

But, WHY is the rum gone!? I'm guessing someone got their hands on this irresistible smash recipe made with perfectly ripe orchard fruits, spicy ginger liqueur, and summer's favorite spirit, RUM!

What you need:

• Fresh peaches
• Fresh cherries
• Fresh lime
• Fresh mint
• Turbinado sugar (any sugar will work, but I like turbinado best)
• Ginger liqueur
• Aged white rum
• Club soda

In a short glass, combine:

• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 2 peach slices
• 2 lime wedges
• 2 fresh cherries
• 5 mint leaves

Add 3/4 oz ginger liqueur.

Muddle by pressing and twisting to release the juices and oils from the fruit.

At this point I recommend transferring the mixture into a shaker tin then straining it back into the glass.

Fill the glass with ice, then add 2 oz rum.

Stir.

Top with club soda and garnish with fresh fruit and mint.

Cheers!
