Rum and honey old fashioned

If you enjoy a classic cocktail on the rocks, you'll love this Cuban-inspired twist on an old fashioned. Instead of bourbon and sugar, enjoy spiced dark rum and honey, muddled over ice and garnished with bitters and lemon peel.

  1. Put the rum and honey together in a short rocks glass and stir with a teaspoon or cocktail stirrer until the honey has dissolved.
  2. Add 2 large ice cubes and stir gently until they begin to melt and slightly dilute the drink. Dash over a little Angostura bitters (if using) and use a vegetable peeler to cut a wide strip of zest from the lemon, trying not to catch too much of the bitter pith.
  3. Twist the strip of lemon peel over the drink to release the fragrant oils, then stir into the glass. Serve immediately.
