Recipe by Lady of the Bar Cindy Hunte

Sheer Rocks Restaurant

The beauty of the aged white rum is that it marries beautifully with fresh tart fruit juices to create a classy Caribbean inspired makeover of the classic Cosmopolitan Cocktail.

INGREDIENTS:

1½ oz El Dorado Deluxe Silver
6 year old aged rum
¾ oz Cointreau triple sec liqueur
2¼ oz fresh cranberry juice
Juice of ½ a lime

GARNISH:

A twist of fragrant lime peel.

Cindy Hunte mixes a Silver Cosmo with Aged Rum at Sheer Rocks

METHOD:

Chill a martini glass with ice. Fill a cocktail shaker with 6 large ice cubes then add rum, triple sec, cranberry juice and lime juice. Shake for 15 seconds until the cocktail is well chilled, but ice is still solid. Pour out the ice from the chilled glass and rim the glass with the lime peel twist. Then strain the cocktail into the martini glass. Garnish with lime peel twist. For an extra burst of flavour, you can peel the lime twist over the filled cocktail glass. This way, the lime oils spray into the glass.
