Back of the Island

“Back of the Island” Cocktail

by Season with Spice
Two servings

Ingredients:

Two fresh nutmegs – peeled, halved, and pit removed
1 cup of cold water
4 teaspoons of raw or white sugar (5 or 6 if you like your cocktails sweeter)
16 ice cubes
1 can of ginger ale
2 shots of rum (4 tablespoons)

Method:

1. Put 8 ice cubes and one shot of rum in each glass.
2. In a blender, add in the cold water, sugar, and nutmegs. Blend well.
3. Pour the mix through a fine metal strainer into a bowl. Then transfer the juice into each glass.
4. Top off with ginger ale, and stir.
5. Optional – garnish with lime or lemon, and drop the nutmeg seed into the bottom of the drink (for some reason I thought it would float, but it sinks like a rock)

If you don’t take alcohol, no problem, the drink is refreshing with or without rum.
