Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (125ml) water
  • ½ cup (125ml) sugar
  • Grated peel of 1 lime
  • Pulp of 2-3 granadillas
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract or essence
  • 1 cup (250ml) rum

Method:

  1. Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  2. Stir in lime peel and granadilla pulp, then remove from heat and cool.
  3. Add vanilla and rum and strain mixture into a glass bottle.
  4. Seal bottle and leave to infuse for a day or two, or up to a week if time allows.
  5. Serve as is over ice, or diluted with soda water.

Good idea: Don’t have rum? This works well with an amber or orange flavoured gin too. No alcohol? Simply serve this syrup with soda water or ginger ale for a alcohol-free cocktail.

Complete your date night with this starter, main and dessert:

Honey, fig and thyme layer cake

A summery twist on a Donna Hay recipe. The batter is thick, almost like cookie batter, so use a wet spoon to spread it out into a thin layer.
