INGREDIENTS

  • 5 rambutans
  • 1/4 Scotch bonnet
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 lime
  • 2 oz. spiced or white rum
  • 1 oz. triple sec
  • 1/2 oz. agave

DIRECTIONS

  1. Peel, remove the seed, and cut each rambutan in half.
  2. Peel and chop the ginger into small pieces.
  3. In a shaker, place the rambutans, a slice of Scotch bonnet (or 2 slices if you want it to be spicier), the ginger, and a lime. Cut in quarters and then muddle it all.
  4. Add the agave, rum, triple sec, and ice. Shake vigorously, then strain and pour.
  5. Peel another rambutan, make a cut on one side and then place on the glass rim as a garnish, and enjoy!

Chef’s Tip:

*If you really enjoy ‘sours’, between steps 2 and 3, place an egg white in the shaker and shake vigorously before continuing with the recipe.
