Helpful Tips:
If you are having a party and want to make a pitcher, the recipe card below has a slider where the servings are listed. You can adjust the slider to as many servings as you want.
If I'm only making a few cocktails, I use the small, cans of pineapple juice. That way you don't have to open a big can and end up wasting the juice.
Although I usually tout using premium ingredients, in this cocktail it isn't necessary; bargain to mid-level is appropriate.
Whenever I use store-bought jarred cherries, I always rinse them before placing them in the cocktail. The juice they're stored in is usually sweetened and you don't want the extra sugar to transfer to your sweet poison cocktail.
I use regular maraschino cherries (vibrant red) and Luxardo cherries (deep red).
