Cardamom and Pop Punch
Bartender Phil Ward, of Mayahuel in New York City, developed this cardamom-spiked cocktail to pair with white rum.
6 pods green cardamom
4 white sugar cubes
2 oz. club soda
1 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
2 oz. white rum, preferably Flor de Cana
four-year-old rum
1 thin wedge grapefruit, for garnish
1. Put cardamom, sugar, and 1 oz. club soda into a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or a wooden spoon, muddle the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the cardamom pods are slightly crushed.
2. Add 1 cup ice, grapefruit juice, and rum and stir for 15 seconds. Strain cocktail into a highball glass filled with ice and top with remaining club soda. Garnish with grapefruit wedge.
