Brinjal recipes

Chicken and brinjal curry

30 minutes

The rum punch-up

Serves 1

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

1 /2 shots rum
1/2 shot freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 shot sugar syrup
1 shot cold mineral water
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 wedge lime, to garnish

Method

In a cocktail shaker, shake all the ingredients, except the lime, and fine-strain into a chilled Martini glass. Serve garnished with lime wedge.

TASTE’s take:

This is a distilled version of that traditional rum cocktail, the daiquiri. Here, the in-your-face fruity flavours one might expect make way for the subtle aromas of bitters and a finely tuned mix of sour and sweet. Very refreshing and as the name suggests, it comes with a bit of clout.
