The third and final pom grog of the weekend, and I’d say we saved the best for last! I think I’ve found the right balance of flavour-to-sweetness in my cinnamon syrup. This is the first drink I’ve made with it, and it packs a real punch of spice. The sweet tartness of the passionfruit and pomegranate star, while lime and grapefruit keep the palate bright.

Combine all ingredients in a drink mixer tin. Blend for 5 seconds. Open pour into a double old-fashioned glass and top with more ice if necessary. Top with freshly grated cinnamon and garnish with a mint sprig.

Editor's Note

Demerara rum provides a dark, molasses-rich backbone to this tropical blend. Pomegranate and passionfruit add a sharp, tart contrast that keeps the spice-heavy cinnamon syrup in check.
