Need a cocktail? You need a Jamrock! This Barbadian rum cocktail from Studio Bar is a must-try summer tipple.
Head Mixologist at Studio Bar, Michal Golecki, shares the recipe for an exclusive ‘Barbados Journey’ cocktail available at K West Hotel & Spa.
‘Jamrock’ is a cocktail as colourful as the Caribbean, named in honour of the legend himself. Bob Marley’s son, Damian Marley, won two Grammy Awards with his album ‘Welcome to Jamrock’ and K West is recreating that Marley magic using Doorly’s XO Rum, a well-aged character, double matured in Spanish oloroso sherry casks.
Ingredients
25 ml Doorly’s XO Rum
12.5ml MB Banana liqueur
12.5ml Malibu
12.5ml Mozart Chocolate liqueur
3 Muddled Maraschino cherries
25ml Passion fruit purée
Passion fruit and seeds
Sprig of fresh mint
Method
Muddle the Maraschino cherries in a cocktail shaker to get the full flavour out.
Pour the rum, MB Banana liqueur, Malibu, MB Chocolate liqueur and passion fruit purée to the shaker, along with some ice.
Shake, shake, shake (for at least 12 seconds).
Pour over crushed ice in your favourite glass, or a copper tin mug if you really want to drink like a local.
Cut the passion fruit in half and use the seeds of one half and a sprig of fresh mint to garnish the drink.
Bottoms up!
Michal’s expert tip: ‘To kick it up a notch, fill up the empty passion fruit half with Sambuca and flame the fruit with a lighter. Pour Sambuca on top of the cocktail as you serve.’
