Muddy Waters

"April is the cruelest month" says T. S. Eliot in The Wasteland. Chaucer on the other hand welcomes April with its sweet showers. Whatever you feel about the month of April, try this long drink with grapefruit, lime and dark rum. The visual result is certainly muddied but the taste is a promise of sunny times ahead. A refreshingly dry highball that supports the slight sweetness and strong taste of a dark rum.

2 or 3 wedges of lime

6 cl dark rum

9 cl freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

Squeeze the lime wedges into a highball glass and leave them in the bottom of the glass, fill with ice, and add the other ingredients in the order mentioned.
