A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean highball glass for each serving. Do not put additional ice in the glass before blending.
Load the blender
Measure one serving of the liquid ingredients and bitters into the blender with 170 g finely cracked ice. Keep all garnish aside, and secure the lid.
Flash-blend briefly
Blend on high for five seconds only, just long enough to combine the liquids and break down the ice. Keep the drink slushy rather than making a smooth frozen drink.
Pour and garnish
Pour the complete contents, including the finely cracked ice, into the tall tumbler and add the measured mint sprig. Do not add any flames or extra rum.
