Recipe

  • 45ml golden rum

  • 60ml pineapple juice

  • 15ml Galliano

  • Almost no lime juice

  • 45ml sparkling white wine

Shake the first four ingredients vigorously with ice (aiming for a good foam from the pineapple juice), strain into a cocktail glass, and top up with the sparkling wine.

This is wonderful!  All the different flavours can be detected, with the strong rum and sickly pineapple juice tempered by the dryness of the wine and the tartness of the lime juice, all of it brought together by the soothing yet exotic Galliano, which also lends a beautiful colour.

The exact amount of wine you can fit in may depend on the size of your glass.  A little more would be fine, but I wouldn't go beyond about 75ml.  So even if you've got one of the small 200ml bottles, you should manage 3 or 4 drinks – and you'll want another one if you're anything like me!
