    5 Summer Rum Cocktails To Make That Last Bottle Count

    Still Got A Stocked Liquor Cabinet? Here Are 5 Summer Rum Cocktails To Make That Last Bottle Count

    With us nearly at the 40-day mark of India’s Coronavirus lockdown, it’s likely that several of us have made our way clean through our liquor supplies, with little more than a bunch of empty bottles to show for it. 

    However, if you were responsible enough to ration or resorted to more dubious means of keeping your booze bank topped off, Bangalorean master-bartender Hemant Mundkur has a trick or three up his sleeve – teaming up with Bacardi to present a way to make those last few drinks count.

    Here are five of his top recommendations for a boozy weekend break from the quarantine blues:

    1. Indian Summer

    Fruity, spicy and possibly the best way to use a mango if you’re lucky enough to have gotten a few during the lockdown – this one’s a real treat.

    Ingredients: 

    50 ml White Rum

    1 ripe mango

    Pinch of salt

    Pinch of red chilli powder

    10-15 ml Sugar Syrup

    15 ml Lime juice

    Glassware: Highball glass.

    Garnish: Slice of mango, skin on.

    Method: Add all ingredients to a blender with ice and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and garnish.

    (Sugar Syrup Recipe: 1 cup of warm water, 1 cup sugar. Mix till sugar dissolves.)

    2. Pomegranate Mojito

    2 tablespoons pomegranate

    8 mint leaves
