Can you give me a recipe for a cherry-based tiki drink?

For a cherry-based tiki drink, the standout option from our list is the Mai Tai. Although not traditionally cherry-flavored, it is a quintessential tiki cocktail that delivers a punch of tropical flavors. The Mai Tai combines lime juice, white and Jamaican rums, sugar syrup, orange liqueur, and orgeat syrup to create a luscious and fruity drink with hints of almond. Its origins in the 1940s California tiki culture and its high rating of 4.62/5 make it an excellent choice if you're aiming for a tiki experience.

However, if you desire a more cherry-centric option with a touch of tropical flair, the Hairy Cherry cocktail offers a fantastic alternative. This drink combines peach schnapps, orange juice, cherry brandy, tequila, and grenadine, creating a vibrant mix that blends well with a tiki theme. The citrus and stone fruit notes, along with the warmth of tequila, provide a unique twist on the tropical vibe. Its playful name and balanced flavors ensure a refreshing experience, though it has a slightly lower rating of 3.8/5.

Both of these options can provide a delightful tiki cocktail experience, with the Mai Tai being the classic choice and the Hairy Cherry offering a more cherry-forward but equally refreshing alternative.
