Mi Shimarucu Martini

Whether you have been to Aruba or not, you have probably heard about the friendliness, happiness and willing to give memorable experiences to its visitors by its people. This is why Aruba is known as One Happy Island.

Our products are inspired in the Aruba Island Spirit, as the image of the island represents everything we were looking for in a product.

Ingredients

This drink is based on tiny, bright red Shimarucu fruit, also known as acerola cherry, Guarani cherry, Barbados cherry, or West Indian cherry. The fruit is originally from Yucatán, and can be found in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. It is prized for its high vitamin C content.

Ingredients

50 ml Papiamento Aruba Vodka [1½ ounces plus 1 teaspoon]
20 ml POP Shimarucu Liqueur, substitute cherry brandy (Bols brand preferred), or Sloe Gin [½ ounce plus 1 teaspoon]
10 ml Shimarucu purée (if available), substitute 5 ml [1 teaspoon] passion fruit purée
20 ml Runny Honey
