Picture this: you're lounging on a sunny patio with a lazy playlist on. All you need to complete the scene is a cocktail in one hand and a plate of food in another. Let’s dive into a cocktail that celebrates sugarcane, with a little help from the bar.
Fresh Sugarcane Juice, white rum, Fresh Lime Juice, Homemade Ginger Syrup, A handful of Fresh Mint Leaves, Lemon Pop, Ice Cubes, A sugarcane stick and a wheel of lime to garnish
In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves. Pour in the fresh sugarcane juice, dark rum, lime juice and ginger syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously.
Strain the concoction into a highball glass filled with ice. Top off the cocktail with a splash of lemon pop. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum, and enjoy a refreshing mocktail. Garnish with a sugarcane stick and a lime wheel.
Ingredients: Shrimp: Marinated in lime, garlic, and chilli, Soft Corn Tortillas, Fresh Avocado Slices, Cabbage Slaw: Tossed in a light vinaigrette, A dollop of Cilantro-Lime Crema
Grill or air-fry the shrimp until for five to seven minutes, flipping once in between. Once done, assemble on a taco shell, add avocado and slaw and finish off with a dollop of cilantro-lime crema. These tacos, amazing on their own, can light up any get-together. But with the sugarcane cocktail, it hits all the right spots.
