Method

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Strain the syrup through a fine sieve, pressing gently.

  3. 03

    Stir in rice vinegar, bottle, and refrigerate.

Happiest note

Rice vinegar keeps the fruit bright and less assertive than cider vinegar. Taste before adding more acid.

  • Rum and tequila highballs
