THE RUMPOLITAN



The Rumpolitan image

The Spaniard - a wonderfully cozy, cluttered, friendly pub in Belfast, Northern Ireland - has a fine assortment of rums and a winning way with rum-based cocktails. I've had many excellent daiquiris there, but I can also vouch for the Rumpolitan, the bar's alternative to a Cosmo. The Clément Créole Shrubb orange liqueur contributes a subtle, welcome note of bitterness and a flash of spice.

3/4 oz. Rhum Clément Créole Shrubb
3/4 oz. white rum
2 1/4 oz. cranberry juice
Juice of 3 lime wedges
1 lime wedge

Steps:

  • Shake the liquid ingredients with ice, and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with the lime wedge.

THE GHAZAL



The Ghazal image

I created this drink, which is named after the ancient Persian poetic form, to pair with Middle Eastern snacks. Rosewater enhances the cucumber-and-rose infusion in Hendrick's gin. A good measure of fresh lime juice brightens it up with acidity, and mint adds more flavor.
