Sip into spring and summer with our fresh new cocktail suggestions.
The Hurricane
This cocktail is proof that necessity is the mother of invention. When faced with a glut of rum in the 1940s, New Orleans bar owner Benson O’Brien came up with a brilliant, but simple solution – design a rum-heavy cocktail using local ingredients.
Ingredients
The Essentials
100ml of Dark rum (or light, it’s up to you)
50ml of Passion fruit syrup
50ml of Lemon juice
1 passionfruit
Mint for garnish
Method
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Add some ice and shake vigorously to mix. Strain into a glass, add a little of the passionfruit pulp and garnish with mint. A little bit like your own rum punch and perfect for a spring day. Enjoy!
Brunch Cocktail – Toast and Marmalade
Enjoy this classic breakfast at any time of the day, not just brunch. Inspired by the tried-and-true combination of jam on toast, this cocktail perfectly translates breakfast to the cocktail glass.
Ingredients
50ml Bourbon
25ml Drambuie
A teaspoon of honey
25ml of lemon juice (fresh is best but don’t get too stressed)
1 heaping orange marmalade
2 dashes of bitters
Method
Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker, mix them well and pour the contents through a strainer into a glass. Garnish with a slice of orange. Sit back and enjoy your liquid breakfast.
Raspberry Daiquiri

Ingredients per cocktail
10 raspberries
20ml orange liqueur
60ml ounces rum
½ teaspoon raw sugar
one lime, juiced
For the rim
1 small lime wedge
Sugar

Prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass. Dip the top of the glass into a plate sprinkled with sugar. In a mixing glass, muddle the raspberries with the lime juice and sugar. Add rum and lots of ice. Shake well. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a martini glass. The sieve helps catch the raspberry seeds. Garnish with a raspberry.
