Black & Gold Rising
1 ounce Goslings Gold Rum
1 ounce Goslings Black Rum
1/4 ounce simple syrup
3 thin slices cucumber
1 lemon wedge
3 to 4 chives
pinch of white pepper
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce Warm Ginger Cordial Syrup
24k g
old dust
Squeeze Lemon wedge into simple syrup and drop in a cocktail shaker, add cucumber, pinch of white pepper. Cut chives into 1 inch strips and add to shaker. Muddle all ingredients then add lime juice, cordial syrup and both rums. Shake over ice and strain through mesh strainer into a cocktail glass. Garnish with two 4 inch chives and sprinkle 24 karat gold dust over drink and drink glass.
Note: Drink variation can be played with by using only simple syrup and fresh ginger in the muddle mix. Simple would then be 3/4 ounce and no cordial syrup.
