Begin by washing 2 limes, cut 1 lime in half for juicing, and prepare the other lime by cutting it into wheels for garnish. Prep your glass by pouring the chili lime seasoning onto a small saucer plate. Using a lime wedge, rim the rocks glass, then tip a glass to a plate and roll back and forth in the chili lime seasoning. In the rocks glass, muddle the black cherries with fresh lime juice. Measure and add pineapple juice and Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum. Add ice, and top with 2 oz of ginger beer. Give the cocktail a quick stir. Garnish with a lime wheel and black cherry.
