Name: Soursop Daiquiri
Total time: 12 min
Yield: Serves 1
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 2 Dalgety Pure Soursop tea bags; 100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a true rolling boil; 1 teaspoon of golden caster sugar; 35ml white rum (or 35ml non-alcoholic white rum alternative for the swap); 25ml fresh lime juice (about half a lime); 1 thin strip of fresh pineapple, speared on a cocktail stick, for the rim; 1 fresh mint leaf, for the surface; 1 coupe glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes; 1 cocktail shaker; Cubed ice (about 100g for the shaker); 1 small heatproof jug

Soursop, rum and lime is a natural Caribbean three: the tea brings a soft, creamy tropical fruitiness that sits beautifully against white rum, while lime keeps it sharp. Brewing the soursop strong and sweetening it lightly gives you a base that tastes of real fruit rather than syrup.

Shaken hard over ice and strained into a chilled glass, it lands somewhere between a daiquiri and a tropical sour. Makes one.

You'll need

2 Dalgety Pure Soursop tea bags
100ml freshly drawn water, brought to a true rolling boil
1 teaspoon of golden caster sugar
35ml white rum (or 35ml non alcoholic white rum alternative for the swap)
25ml fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
1 thin strip of fresh pineapple, speared on a cocktail stick, for the rim
1 fresh mint leaf, for the surface
1 coupe glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
1 cocktail shaker
Cubed ice (about 100g for the shaker)
1 small heatproof jug

Method

Chill a coupe or small glass in the freezer.
Steep two tea bags in 100ml of freshly boiled water for five minutes, then lift them out and stir the sugar into the hot brew until it dissolves.
Cool the sweetened tea down by standing the jug in cold water.
Tip the cooled tea, the rum and the lime juice into a shaker filled with ice.
Shake hard for about fifteen seconds, until the shaker frosts over.
Double strain into the chilled glass, spear a strip of pineapple across the rim and float a mint leaf on top.
For an alcohol free version, swap the rum for a non alcoholic white spirit and keep everything else the same.

What you'll end up with: A pale, frosty short drink with white rum at its core, sharp lime over the top and a creamy soursop fruitiness running underneath. Clean, tropical and not too sweet.
