    Recipe: The Fruit Cocktail Cocktail
    Growing up in rural Ohio, most of my snacks had one thing in common: the top peeled off. Looking through that veiled plastic window into my snack of pale orange and off-white, I was anything but excited. I just couldn’t bring myself to tear into it the way I would a snack cake; in fact, the fruit cup was the one treat in the pantry that looked back at me every time I opened the door. That was until something magical happened: the halved cherry.
