After a late night stakeout it’s not uncommon for a dame to let her hair down and knock back a proper cocktail before ending the night at the downtown flop house. It’s no mystery that rum pairs well with coconut, ginger, lime and mint. If you weren’t aware, well I guess the jig is up now.

Recipe

• 2 oz El Dorado 12 year rum
• 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz ginger syrup (1:1)
• 6 to 8 mint leaves
• Top with coconut foam & Bittercube Bolivar Bitters

Add the rum to your shaker tin and lightly muddle 6–8 mint leaves. Add the lime juice, ginger syrup and shake with ice. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top the cocktail with a thin layer of coconut foam. Add four drops of Bittercube Bolivar Bitters in a circlular pattern and then drag a toothpick through the drops to create a nice design.
