Refreshing rum orange juice in a glass with ice and orange slice
Chilled orange juice cocktail mixed with dark rum and spices

Spiced rum & orange juice

Recipes Drinks
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. This drink is the more sophisticated, Caribbean-style relative of the classic 'Screwdriver' cocktail. The caramel, spicy notes of the dark rum blend perfectly with the acids of the fresh orange juice, while the honey rounds off the edges. It holds its own on a warm summer evening or a winter afternoon.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the oranges in half and squeeze their juice. Freshness is key here; carton juice does not give the same experience.

Tip: Before squeezing, roll the oranges on the table while pressing with your palm. This breaks down the fibres and the fruit yields more juice.
2 ✓

Place the ice cubes in the shaker. Pour in the rum, orange juice, and honey.

Tip: If the honey is too thick, mix it with a little warm water or orange juice beforehand, otherwise it will stick to the ice and won't dissolve (viscosity).
3 ✓

Close the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside begins to frost.

Tip: Shaking not only chills but also aerates the drink, and the meltwater from the ice slightly 'opens up' the flavour of the rum.
4 ✓

Pour the drink (with or without the ice cubes, to taste) into a glass.

Tip: Poured over fresh ice, it stays cold longer and becomes less watery than if you poured the used ice from the shaker.
5 ✓

Garnish with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

Tip: The scent of cinnamon mixes with the orange with every sip, giving a more complex flavour perception.

Recipe FAQ

I don't have a shaker, what should I do?
Use a jar that seals well! The point is to shake it up.
Which rum should I choose?
Definitely dark or golden (aged) rum. The taste of white rum would be too neutral here.
