What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
  • Smirnoff vodka (or any other vodka of choice)
    22ml
  • Light rum
    11ml
  • Dark rum
    11ml
  • Fresh orange juice
    60ml
  • Ice cubes, for stirring
    Cup
  • Extra ice
    For serving
  • Carrot ribbon or stick
    For garnish

Method

  1. Step 1

    Fill a highball glass with ice; prepare a thin carrot ribbon or stick for garnish and keep aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate mixing glass, add the vodka, light rum, dark rum and orange juice.

  3. Step 3

    Add ice and stir the drink vigorously with a bar spoon for 20-30 seconds, or until it is fully chilled and well diluted.

  4. Step 4

    Replace the ice in the highball glass and strain the mixed drink in, garnish with carrot ribbon/stick and serve immediately.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Freeze serving ice cubes with a thin strip of orange zest embedded inside. As the ice melts, it gradually releases faint orange oils into the beverage.

  • To create an unexpected savoury-spicy contrast, lightly moisten a section of the outer rim and dip in a mixture of fine sea salt and ground ginger.
