The 1600 cocktail. The website hosting the recipe seems to be offline but it’s from East Imperial Tonic Water.

50ml / 1 ¾ oz Premium Aged Rum.

5ml / ⅙ oz Orgeat.

15ml / ½ oz Cold Brew Coffee.

150ml / 5 oz East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic.

Fresh Orange Slice.

Stirred everything but the soda (I used a spoonful of tonic syrup and 150ml of Fever Tree grapefruit soda) and no I can’t measure 5ml of orgeat, just poured as little as I could.

It’s a lot better than it sounds, honestly. The coffee makes it. And hello to the 1,600 of you!

    Do you also have a link to a good recipe for making syrups from peels? I’ve had mixed results and it’s been awhile since I tried.

      I do it two ways. Either the lazy way (rough cut them as I’m working, tossing into a Tupperware, then at the end pour sugar over them, lid, and let it sit a couple of days, shaking occasionally. Lemonish simple.

      The more complicated way comes from Bon Appetit, a lemon vanilla puree. It’s really good. But I do method 1 a lot more often.
