Ankle Breaker

The Ankle Breaker cocktail is a double – it has twice the standard amount of alcohol for a cocktail. Hence the name. The rum and cherry brandy give it a mellow sweetness, which the ounce of lime juice cuts straight through. It’s a strong but tasty little drink that goes with just about any occasion.

Enjoy an Ankle Breaker on a night out –  just be careful on the dance floor!

Recipe

• 2 ounces 151 proof rum
