Distilling workshop
Great to have had you here!
It was great to have you join us for a distilling workshop.
Now it is time to enjoy your homemade rum. Drink it neat to discover every flavour, or use it in a fresh Daiquiri or a spicy Dark & Stormy.
Grab the ice from the freezer, line up the glasses and...
Happy shaking!
With your homemade rum
Daiquiri
A fresh classic that lets the flavour of your own rum take centre stage.
Ingredients
- Your rum60 ml
- Fresh lime juice30 ml
- Sugar water15 ml
- Ice cubesfor shaking
- GarnishLime wheel
- GlassMartini / coupe
Method
- 1Chill the martini or coupe glass in advance with ice.
- 2Add your rum, lime juice and sugar water to a shaker. Fill generously with ice and shake hard for 10-12 seconds.
- 3Pour without ice into a glass and garnish with a lime wheel.
Bartender tip
Make your own sugar water in a ratio of 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. Use for example 100 g of sugar and 50 ml of boiling water. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved and let it cool. That gives you enough for about 7 cocktails.

Bartender tip
That layer is there to look at, not to drink. Once you are ready to enjoy the cocktail, stir it gently through. That is how all the flavours come together in one glass.
