A cocktail for cooling off and refueling your imagination after a long-hot day. Here, aged rum takes on an extra bite when infused with peppery pipilongo and mixed in the glass with lime and mint.
Notes: Making the infused rum is very easy but it needs to infuse for one week. You can make the turbinado sugar syrup a day or two ahead; cover tightly and store in the fridge. To make enough syrup for multiple cocktails use a 1:1 sugar-water ratio and plan on 1 ounce of syrup per serving.
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- 4 mint leaves plus 1 sprig for garnish
- 1 ounce lime juice
-
2 ounces pipilongo-infused rum
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Directions
Put the sugar into a tall glass and make a syrup by adding 1 tablespoon of warm water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the four mint leaves to the glass and muddle them with the syrup.
- Add the lime juice, rum, and enough crushed ice to fill the glass halfway. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or swizzle stick to mix and until the glass turns frosty.
- Top with more crushed ice to fill the glass. Float the Angostura bitters over top of the ice.
- Garnish with the mint sprig.
