If you’re looking for a summery drink to serve at garden parties or BBQs this year, why not give this a try, you can even make it using ingredients you have around the house!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp strawberry jam
100ml white rum
180g ice cubes
2 limes
2tsp sugar syrup
You can find locally produced rum and other spirits here and some Dorset made jams here. Sugar syrup and limes can be found at shops around the county, alternatively, make your own sugar syrup by dissolving 100g caster sugar in a pan with 50ml of water. Heat gently until the sugar has completely dissolved, then bring to a boil and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
Method:
Start by juicing 1 and a half of your limes.
Add the lime juice, jam, ice, rum and sugar syrup to a blender and blitz until smooth.
Pour the cocktail into martini glasses and slice the remaining lime into wedges to garnish.
Serve.
