A Furlong Too Late

Pouring the ginger beer down the side of the glass rather than directly over the ice minimises agitation and keeps the fizz alive longer - essential for a highball that relies on carbonation for its signature zip.

Ingredients
White Rum60 ml
Ginger Beer120 ml
Lemon Peel
Glassware
Highball glass
Chilled.
Method
  1. 1

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes almost to the rim.

  2. 2

    Pour 60ml white rum over the ice.

  3. 3

    Top with 120ml ginger beer, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.

  4. 4

    Stir briefly with a bar spoon - two or three slow rotations only.

  5. 5

    Express a lemon peel over the surface to release the oils, run it around the rim, and place it on the edge of the glass as garnish.
