Cocktail of the week: Rick’s Ripples on the Sea

There’s a touch of the classic rum punch or piña colada about this buoyant little livener

Rick’s bar’s signature cocktails draw inspiration from the golden age of screen and far-flung shores, such as this one with a name inspired by the classic South Pacific.

Ripples on the Sea

Serves 1

40ml dark rum – we use Mount Gay
15ml overproof white rum – we use J Wray & Nephew
20ml fresh lime juice
30ml pineapple juice
20ml coconut syrup
1 thin slice dehydrated or fresh pineapple, to garnish

Put all the liquids in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, then shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is freezing to the touch. Double strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with the pineapple slice and serve.
