Ingredients
- 1/8 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3/8 cup brewed black iced tea, cooled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1 oz light rum
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, water, and sugar. Heat over high heat until boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook until the syrup is a deep red and berries are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the raspberries. Raspberry syrup will keep for one week in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
- In a glass, combine the brewed tea, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, both rums, and ice. Stir for about 30 seconds, making sure that all ingredients are incorporated and the ice begins melting.
- Garnish with a straw and mint leaves.
