Jamaican rum cocktail Planter's Punch
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Chill four highball glasses in the freezer or fill them with ice for a few minutes to get them well chilled.
- 2
Measure the dark rum, lime juice, simple syrup and optional grenadine. Prepare the soda water and garnishes.
Mixing
- 3
Place a few ice cubes into a mixing glass or shaker. Pour in the rum, lime juice, simple syrup and grenadine and shake for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
TIP:When shaking, hold the shaker firmly and shake for 10-15 seconds until the mixture cools and a fine mist forms on the surface. This yields better mixing and less dilution.
- 4
Fill the prepared glasses with the remaining ice. Strain the cocktail through a fine sieve into the glasses and top each with soda water. Stir briefly and gently.
TIP:Use a Hawthorn filter together with a fine sieve, and pour the drink slowly along the inside wall of the glass. This will remove small ice chips and preserve the delicate fizz of the soda.
Serving
- 5
Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
- 6
Serve immediately, well chilled.
More tips:
Don't have ready-made simple syrup? Mix 60 ml of hot water with 60 g of granulated sugar, stir until the sugar dissolves, and let the syrup cool before using.
