This Diplomatico cocktail is a diplomatic combination of the smooth rum, sour (and a little bit bitter) grapefruit and the sweetness of cherries. You re just going to have to try this if you want to understand what I mean :).

What do you need for a El Diplomatico?

Diplomatico rum (1 part)
Grapefruit juice (juice of half a grapefruit)
Maraschino (1 thee spoon)

1 part = 30 ml

How do you make El Diplomatico?

We are going to make this cocktail with a shaker. Fill up your shaker with ice cubes. Pour in the rum, juice of the grapefruit and maraschino liquor. Give it a good shake for about 5 to 8 seconds and pour out the cocktail in a chilled martini glass. Garnish the cocktail with a piece of grapefruit or a cocktail cherry and ypur El Diplomatico is ready to serve.

Also try El Flamingo

A different cocktail we’ve made with Diplomatico rum is the El Flamingo. This is a pretty pink cocktail, you can guess it, that looks like a flamingo. That how it’s got it’s name. It is made with some nice guava juice. Try it!
