Jack Turner’s ‘Winter Wonder’

‘Want to serve your guests something festive? Try my world famous Winter Wonder.’

The dark rum warms the cockles while the spicy aftertaste of ginger beer will give you a kick and liven up the party. It certainly does when Babs Sax is around anyway; I’ve had to limit her to no more than four Winter Wonders a night. I’m still recovering from the time she made a grab across the bar at my tackle, feeding me some cock and bull afterwards about how she was only after a packet of pork scratchings. She’s lucky I didn’t chuck her out!

Ingredients
Dark rum
Good quality ginger beer
Lime juice

Method
Get a tall glass and whack a couple of ice cubes in. Get your dark rum and add a healthy glug (I always aim for a double measure). Next pour over the ginger bubbles to make a long drink that’s not short on surprises. Squeeze half a fresh lime in and give the whole lot a good stir. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge. Voila!
