Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 360 ml Dark rum - Something dark and molasses-heavy - Gosling's, if you can find it
- 600 ml Ginger beer - A proper fiery one, not a sweetened soft drink
- 60 ml Lime juice (optional)
- 6 wedges Lime wedge (optional)
Pitcher (6 drinks) - about 1.02 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Fill a highball with ice, pour in the ginger beer, then float the rum on top.
Method
- Fill a highball glass with ice and pour in the ginger beer.
- Squeeze in the lime juice if you are using it.
- Pour the rum slowly over the back of a spoon so it sits in a dark layer on top of the ginger beer.
- Add a lime wedge and hand it over without stirring - the drink mixes itself as it goes.
