Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the main ingredients: blackstrap molasses, dark rum, fresh lime juice, ginger beer, and fresh mint leaves.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Mint

    In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, add the fresh mint leaves and gently muddle them to release their oils. This will enhance the flavor of the drink.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine the Main Ingredients

    Add the blackstrap molasses, dark rum, and fresh lime juice to the muddled mint in the mixing bowl. Stir well until the molasses is fully dissolved.

  2. 4

    Add Ginger Beer

    Slowly pour in the ginger beer to the mixture, gently stirring to combine without losing the carbonation.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glasses

    In each serving glass, add a generous amount of crushed ice (about 1 cup per glass).

  2. 6

    Pour the Drink

    Carefully pour the prepared drink mixture over the crushed ice in each glass.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish each glass with lime slices and a sprig of fresh mint for decoration.
