Make it

  1. Pour rum, lime juice and sugarcane juice directly into an old-fashioned glass.
  2. Add ice cubes and stir to combine.
  3. Add a little chilled water or fresh juice to taste.
  4. Express an orange peel over the rim to release its oils, then drop it into the glass.

Behind the drink

An old rhyme says: one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak. The IBA recipe uses lime, sugarcane juice and rum at 1:2:3, then adds water to taste.
