2 oz (60 ml) aged rum
1 oz (30 ml) fresh pineapple juice
½ oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
½ oz (15 ml) ginger syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
ice
sparkling water, to top
orange wedge, to garnish
candied ginger, to garnish
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Shake
Shake the rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, ginger syrup and bitters hard with ice.
Strain and top
Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice and top with sparkling water.
Garnish
Skewer the orange wedge and a piece of candied ginger on a cocktail pick and rest it on the glass.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
