Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups water
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 inches long piece fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, peeled with vegetable peeler, juiced
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1.25 fl oz dark rum
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium heavy-based saucepan, combine water, sugar, ginger, lemon peel and juice, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly and is infused with the ginger and lemon. Set aside to cool.
  2. Strain the syrup into a small bowl and discard the solids. The syrup can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
  3. In a blender, combine the berries, rum, and 1 cup of ginger syrup; reserve the remaining syrup for another use. Blend on high speed for 15 seconds, or until well blended.
  4. Fill a glass halfway with ice. Add the berry mixture and mint and stir well to allow some ice to melt into the berry mixture.
  5. Pour into a highball cocktail glass and serve immediately.
