Description

Kingston Fireline takes its cue from Kingston, using Overproof rum, Allspice juice, Grapefruit syrup, lime juice. Serve well chilled to create a cocktail with a specific cultural mood rather than a vague flavour idea.

The serve works because it has contrast: a recognisable lead flavour, a balancing citrus or aromatic note, and enough lift to keep the drink clean. It is designed to feel modern, photogenic and easy to understand from the first sip.

Use it as part of a world-cocktail menu, a country-themed party, or a tasting flight where each drink tells a small story about place, colour and occasion.

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Overproof Rum
  • 25 ml Allspice juice
  • 15 ml Grapefruit syrup
  • 20 ml lime juice

Equipment needed

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
