Orgeat Lemonade

1.5oz Spiced rum

3-4oz Orgeat Lemonade

2-3 cut strawberries

Making your Orgeat:

1oz almond paste

6oz Water

3oz Sugar

Orange Blossom Water

Bring the almond paste & water to a boil, once the paste has broken up and incorporated with the water, remove from heat

Add your sugar and whisk gently for about 2 minutes

Grab a barspoon and do one heaping barspoon of your orange blossom water and let it rest

Once the mixture has cooler, put it through a conical strainer, or a chemex filter. A regular colander wont work for this mix, as it's a fine paste.

Making the Orgeat Lemonade:

Using 8oz of fresh lemon juice, 5oz of water and your orgeat mix them all and whisk to incorporate. Taste for preference. *I prefer a more tangy lemonade, so i use 10oz of lemon juice, 5oz of water and then add my orgeat*

The Drink:

To build your drink, in a fizz or collins glass, muddle your strawberries, add your ice and pour your rum, and finally top with your lemonade.

Garnish with a fan strawberry **see pic**

Cheers!
