The negative side is that it can get a little dangerous. So this drink has a reduced ABV (alcohol by volume) version of a classic Mai Tai. This sour to bitter tasting drink is a summer cocktail which becomes a perfectly sweet sparkle with richberry.
Ingredients:
1 oz (30 ml) dark rum
½ oz (15 ml) dry curaçao
½ oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
½ oz (15 ml) Orgeat
Sparkling wine or water
Mint sprig, for garnish
Luxardo cherry, for garnish
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Method:
In a cocktail shaker, combine the rum, curaçao, lime juice and orgeat and shake with ice. Strain into a large snifter over crushed ice and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with the mint sprig and cherry, and dust with powdered sugar.
Mocktail (non-alcoholic): If you wish to have a delicious non-alcoholic version, please feel free to take the alcohol out and follow the same procedure.
Consume Miracle Berry: Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact: The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
