Oakham Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature.

This week's cocktail is a caramelised rum punch. Read on to find out more and how to make it for yourself...

Recipe is as follows:

25ml of spiced rum - I used Spiced Sailor Jerry

25ml dark rum - I used Captain Morgans Dark Rum

25ml of orange liquor - I used Cointreau

75ml of pineapple juice

1 teaspoon of demarea sugar

Method:

1. Heat sugar in a pan until it starts to caramelise
2. Add all of the above ingredients until warm, not boiling
3. Transfer directly into a glass with ice, garnished with a cinnamon stick
4. You can burn the cinnamon stick with a blow torch or burner to create a smoky flavour - but be careful!

I put dry ice in the bottom of the glass to create this smoke effect.

I hope you give it a go enjoy!

Check back next week for another Cocktail of the Week, shared each Friday to kick your weekend off with a bang.
