Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Old Monk rum, or other dark rum
  • 3 pinches Gunpowder Spice Mix
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 200ml cola
  • 1 Fill a tumbler with ice. Pour in the rum, spice mix and lime. Top up with cola.

Instructions

  1. 1Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour in the dark rum, spice mix, and fresh lime juice.
  2. 2Top the drink with cola and stir gently to combine. Stirring gently keeps the carbonation intact.

  • Tip: Squeeze the lemon twist over the glass before dropping it in to release the essential oils.
