We freely admit that our choice of cocktail this week was inspired by a visit as guests of a Gentleman to the bar of the excellent Ardington Hotel in the fashionable seaside resort of Worthing. Where the superlative barman offered us a rum cocktail worthy to match the sweltering tropical conditions. Sadly, we neglected to obtain the precise recipe and method. So the nearest we could get was this Grenada cocktail from the Hamlyn Ultimate Cocktail Book, which we hope will go some way to offer that authentic Caribbean Island ambience.
Put 4-5 ice cubes into a mixing glass. Add the juice of half a fresh orange, 1 measure of sweet vermouth and three measures of dark rum to a mixing glass. Stir, then pour to a true cocktail glass and decorate with some pieces of cinnamon stick if you wish.
And as you sip and slip into your sub-tropical experience, ask yourself this question: Is Global warming a form of political and economic oppression?
