A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare a small glass
Set out a clean small rocks glass. Cut one 2–3 cm cheek from the side of a washed lime, taking peel and a little flesh. Keep any ice aside.
Wake up the citrus
Pour the measured 5 ml cane syrup into the glass. Squeeze the measured lime cheek over it, flesh facing down, then drop the cheek into the syrup.
Measure the rhum
Add the measured 50 ml rhum agricole blanc directly to the glass. Stir gently for 10 seconds to combine the syrup, lime juice, and rhum.
Serve in its simplest form
Serve the drink in the same glass without shaking, straining, or adding ice. The expressed lime cheek remains in the drink as its aromatic finish.
