Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons freshly grated lime zest (about 6 limes)
6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)
2 cups apricot nectar, chilled
1 1/4 cups white rum

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, pulse the lime zest with the sugar until finely ground. Measure out 1/4 cup mixture; transfer the rest to a shallow dish. Pour 2 tablespoons lime juice into another dish. Dip the rims of 4 glasses in the juice, then in the sugar mixture, coating well.
