Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 Dr Oetker orange food colour gel
  • 1 lime wedge
  • 6 tbsp caster sugar
  • 3 shots espresso, hot (300ml)
  • 175ml dark spiced rum
  • 50ml dry vermouth

Step by step

Get ahead

Prepare the sugared glasses, and sweeten and cool the espresso a few hours ahead.

  1. First, make the coloured sugar for the glass rims. Put the 3 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl, add a little gel food colouring and rub it in with your fingers until evenly distributed. It should still be quite dry and sandy – if you add too much colouring and make the sugar sticky, it won’t cling to the glass. Tip out onto a saucer or small plate.
  2. Rub the lime or lemon wedge around the rim of 4 Martini glasses, then press each one, in turn, into the sugar to coat, and set aside.
  3. Dissolve the 6 tablespoons of sugar in the hot espresso and leave to cool slightly.
  4. When ready to serve, put a good handful of ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, or a large jam jar with a lid. Add the sweetened espresso, the rum and vermouth and shake until well chilled. Strain into the glasses. Garnish with a lychee ‘eyeball’ on a cocktail stick, if using.
