“Back of the Island” Cocktail (or Mocktail)
A cocktail is just as much a part of a meal as anything else - so why settle for your guests drinking only water? This mocktail recipe will make you look like a superstar.
Ingredients
- Two fresh nutmegs – peeled halved, and pit removed
- 1 cup of cold water
- 4 teaspoons of raw or white sugar 5 or 6 if you like your cocktails sweeter
- 16 ice cubes
- 1 can of ginger ale
- 2 shots of rum 4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Put 8 ice cubes and one shot of rum in each glass.
- In a blender, add in the cold water, sugar, and nutmegs. Blend well.
- Pour the mix through a fine metal strainer into a bowl. Then transfer the juice into each glass.
- Top off with ginger ale, and stir.
- Optional – garnish with lime or lemon, and drop the nutmeg seed into the bottom of the drink (for some reason I thought it would float, but it sinks like a rock)
Notes
If you don’t take alcohol, no problem, the drink is refreshing with or without rum. More information about nutmeg the spice.
Cheers!
