TOP TIPS!

Always use fresh citrus juice if you can, this goes for any cocktail! Pre-prepared citrus loses flavour and aroma so for the best flavour fresh citrus is always best. You can have a lot of fun with twists on a Collins – experiment with different soda’s and citrus combinations – Franklin & Son‘s have a great soda selection!

 

One-Eyed Rebel Colada 

A tropical classic with a fiery twist.

 

 

To create the oleo – combine the fresh peel of 2 lemons and 2 limes in a bowl with 100g of sugar, mix well, cover and leave for an hour or more, this should produce around 

Remove the peels and reserve the oleo. Muddle the mint and orange wheels with oleo and orange juice. Add crushed ice and rum and then churn. Add more crushed ice and top with soda. Crown with more crushed ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
