2. Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Seal tightly and place in the freezer overnight to allow it to freeze solid.

3. Prepare to Serve: About half an hour before you plan to serve, remove the slush from the freezer. Place it in a punch bowl and use your hands or a spoon to break up the slush into smaller, more manageable pieces. The slush will be quite cold, so handle with care.

4. Serve: Spoon the slush into glasses, making sure to scoop up some of the rum-soaked cherries along with the fruity mixture. Garnish each glass with a cherry for a festive touch.

Notes

• Tip for Large Parties: This recipe is easily scalable. For big gatherings, consider making a double or triple batch to ensure everyone has plenty to enjoy.
• Rum Choice: Using coconut rum adds a tropical flair, but be cautious as the rum-soaked cherries can be quite strong.

Enjoy this tropical delight at your next gathering, and watch it disappear before your eyes! 🍹🍒
