I remember my first time visiting Jamaica. Two things stand out in my mind the most; The first is walking through the waterfalls at Dunn's River near Ocho Rios. The second... rum everywhere! I remember ladies shoving rum shots in my face trying to get me to sample it, which is hilarious because I was, like, 15! My folks grabbed my arm and yanked me away before I could sample any, but I understand why they were so invested in having people try their rum- it is among the best in the world. This cocktail is a tribute to Jamaican rum and the island flavors of Jamaica! Please do not leave out the spiced rim- it makes the cocktail unique and delicious! Cheers! Ingredients:
6 ounces mango nectar |
1 1/2 ounces rum |
1 ounce grand marnier |
1/2 ounce lime juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cayenne. Moisten the rim of 2 chilled martini glasses with a lime and dip it into the sugar mixture.
2. Fill a shaker with ice. Add the mango juice, rum, Grand Marnier and lime juice and shake vigorously. Strain into the glasses. Serve with a mango slice, if desired. Makes 2.
