Borgonovo Black

Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall tumbler completely to the brim with large, solid ice cubes. An abundance of high-quality ice is crucial to keep this majestic long drink frosty and prevent premature dilution.

The Dark Base: Pour 50ml of premium Dark or Spiced Rum directly over the ice, followed immediately by 15ml of freshly squeezed, strained lime juice. The sharp citrus perfectly cuts through the rich molasses of the spirit.

The Sparkling Crown: Gently pour ice-cold Seven Dates Original to top off the glass (approximately 120ml). Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the crisp, natural effervescence of the soft drink.

The Gentle Integration: Insert a bar spoon down the side of the glass and pull the bottom liquids upward in a single, smooth motion. This gentle technique flawlessly marries the deep rum and bright lime with the sparkling amber beverage.

The Aromatic Garnish: Carefully place a dehydrated lime wheel so it rests elegantly against the ice on the surface. Finish by dropping a single, intact star anise pod onto the drink to add a captivating, spiced visual and aroma.

Serve: Present immediately, allowing the guest to experience the deep, complex harmony of flavors and the refreshing chill.
