Sexy Sailor Cocktail Recipe
Two spirits, one very good idea. Spiced rum brings the vanilla and oak, Fireball brings the cinnamon heat, and the ginger beer stretches the whole thing into something you can actually sit with. It tastes like a holiday and takes about ninety seconds to build.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- Spiced rum - 60ml (2 Squeezes)
- Fireball - 60ml (2 Squeezes)
- Fresh lime juice - 30ml (1 Squeeze)
- Sugar syrup - 15ml (half a Squeeze)
- Ginger beer - to top
- Mint and a lime wheel - to garnish
Method
- Put the rum, Fireball, lime juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake hard.
- Strain over fresh ice across two glasses and top with ginger beer. Use an alcoholic ginger beer if you want the extra kick.
- Garnish with mint leaves and a lime wheel.
Squeeze Tip
Fresh lime, never the bottled stuff, and always top with the ginger beer after you pour. Put it in the shaker and you lose every bubble you were shaking for. If the cinnamon heat is not your thing, swap the Fireball for white, dark or extra spiced rum and the drink still holds up.
