Lime, passion fruit, maraschino, and aged rum make an unusually tart tropical drink whose overproof black-rum sidecar lets the drinker choose the danger.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Add every ingredient except the overproof rum to a spindle blender with 360 ml crushed ice and four to six small cubes.
  2. Flash-blend at high speed for five seconds, then open-pour through a gated finish into a chilled double old fashioned glass, holding back the larger cubes.
  3. Serve the overproof rum alongside so it can be added incrementally.
