Garnish & Finish

Method

Preparation

1

Chill glass

If desired, place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you assemble ingredients to ensure the cocktail stays cold.

2

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

3

Build cocktail

Add 2 oz Kill Devil Rum, 0.75 oz Ancho Reyes Verde, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to the shaker.

4

Shake

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled (about a heavy frost forms). This dilutes and chills the mixture and integrates the liqueur and citrus.

5

Prepare glass

Discard any ice/water from the chilled glass and fill it with fresh cubed ice (about 1 cup).

6

Strain and top

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top gently with 3 oz chilled ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve carbonation and create a slight foamy head.

7

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. If using, tuck a cilantro sprig next to the lime and float a thin jalapeño slice on top for extra visual heat and aroma.

8

Serve immediately with a short straw. Advise guests to stir lightly before drinking if the ginger beer has separated from the spirit layer.
