Method
How to make a El Comediante
-
- A day before making this cocktail, infuse the gold rum with red bell pepper slices and smoked/dried habanero
-
- Remove the seeds and place half of a red bell pepper per 4oz rum, and however much habanero you desire (if it is smoked there will not be as much heat)
-
- Let infuse in a covered jar for at least 12 hours, but 24 is ideal
-
- When done, strain the rum into a clean jar and set aside
-
- Combine rum, ginger syrup, lime juice, and ice into shaker
-
- Shake and strain into the highball glass filled with ice
-
- Top up with ginger ale (the spicier the better)
-
- With the back of a spoon, float the red wine on top, then serve

FAQ's
Can I substitute ginger syrup with something else in El Comediante?
Yes, if you do not have ginger syrup, you can substitute it with a simple syrup mixed with a pinch of ground ginger or a few slices of fresh ginger. This will give you a similar sweetness and ginger flavor. Adjust the ginger amount according to taste.
What is the best technique for combining the ingredients of El Comediante?
El Comediante should be prepared by shaking the lime juice, gold rum, and ginger syrup with ice in a cocktail shaker. Then, strain into a highball glass filled with ice, and gently pour in the ginger ale and red wine to create a layered effect. This technique ensures a well-mixed drink with a pleasant texture and temperature.
What garnish works best with El Comediante?
A thin slice of lime or a twist of lime peel makes an excellent garnish for El Comediante. The citrusy aroma and appearance complement the drink's flavors. Additionally, a small piece of crystallized ginger on the rim of the glass can enhance the ginger notes in the cocktail.
How does the alcohol content in El Comediante compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 16.91%, El Comediante falls within the range of average strength for cocktails. Most cocktails have an alcohol content between 10% to 20%. Therefore, El Comediante is moderately strong, similar to a traditional rum punch or a red wine cocktail.
What occasions are best suited for serving El Comediante?
El Comediante, with its bold mix of lime, ginger, red wine, and rum, is perfect for evening social gatherings or dinner parties. Its unique flavor profile makes it a conversation starter, ideal for occasions that call for something a little different and adventurous.
