Center of the Galaxy

In 2009, scientists at the Max Plank Institute of Radio Astronomy announced that, after scanning a giant dust ball at the center of the galaxy, they’d found a number of molecules – including ethyl formate, an ester that smells like rum and gives raspberries their taste!

Inspired by this discovery, Martin Cate of the legendary Smuggler’s Cove invented this drink, featuring aged rum and raspberry liqueur, plus lime and a blend of honey and brown sugar. It’s finished off with a pinch of cinnamon – give it a swirl, so it looks like the arms of a galaxy.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake all ingredients (except the cinnamon) with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the surface of the drink, and give it a little stir to encourage the cinnamon to form a spiral. Garnish with a raspberry speared to the center of a lime wheel.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
