Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 360 ml Dark rum - An aged Jamaican rum is the classic; a funky one is even better
- 360 ml White rum
- 180 ml Orange curaçao
- 180 ml Orgeat
- 240 ml Lime juice
- 12 spent shells Lime - Turned inside out and floated as the garnish (optional)
- 12 sprigs Mint sprig (optional)
Batch (12 drinks) - about 1.32 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
- Shake the rums, orange liqueur, orgeat and lime, then pour into a rocks glass over crushed ice.
Method
- Put the rums, orange liqueur, orgeat and lime juice in a shaker with ice and shake for 12 seconds.
- Pour unstrained into a rocks glass over crushed ice.
- Float the spent lime shell on top, hollow side up, and slap a mint sprig against your palm before tucking it in.
