  1. Put the marmalade in a heatproof jug or bowl and add a splash of boiling water, mixing to loosen to a smooth, pourable consistency. Put in a jug with the rum, stem ginger syrup and lime juice; chill until ready to serve. Half-fill 8 highball glasses with ice and divide the mixture between them. Top up with the ginger beer and garnish with a lime wheel and a slice of stem ginger to serve.
