Notes:

• Rum & cokes have their place but why not try a rum cocktail with an accent of Dominican mamajuana? Mamajuana – a rum spirit infused with herbs and roots – is mixed with light rum, mint and tamarind juice for a cocktail that’s made even more refreshing thanks to a floater of lemon-lime soda.
