Muddle the mint in a mixing glass to release its aromatic oils.

Fill a Hurricane glass generously with crushed ice to prepare it for the cocktail.

Add the Demerara rum, aged dark rum, cherry liqueur, lime juice, and bitters to the mixing glass.

Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the ingredients.

Strain the mixture over the crushed ice in the Hurricane glass.

Top the cocktail with tonic water and add more crushed ice to fill.

Swizzle the drink gently to mix the layers without disturbing the garnish.

Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, a lime wheel, and cherries for a visually appealing presentation.
