Cockle Warmer is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for those chilly evenings when you need a warm and comforting drink. This cocktail combines the tangy taste of ginger ale with the zesty kick of lime and the rich and spicy flavors of spiced rum. Traditionally served in a highball glass, the cocktail is made by muddling two lime wedges in the bottom of the glass and then adding in 75ml of spiced rum. The glass is then topped off with 200ml of ginger ale and stirred gently to combine all the flavors. The resulting cocktail is crisp, fresh, and has a warming effect on the palate, making it the perfect drink to enjoy during the colder months. The spicy notes from the rum and the sharpness of the ginger ale are beautifully balanced by the tartness of the lime, creating a well-rounded and flavorful cocktail that is sure to please.
