For a party, The Cliff Dive's Alex Dowd recommends quadrupling the quantities and serving the drink in a bowl shaped like an active volcano ("think Dante's Peak"), topping up glasses with soda as you go.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml dark rum
  • 20 ml lime juice (reserve the squeezed halves)
  • 15 ml grenadine
  • A dash of absinthe
  • To top up: soda
  • To garnish: mint sprigs and maraschino cherries
