While Spiced Rum and Cola is a conventional theme of the tall back deck drink; this summer I have been travelling a different path in which ginger ale and/or ginger beer has replaced the ubiquitous cola.

May I present The Flying Machine.

The Flying Machine

1 1/2 oz Spiced Rum
1/2 oz Bols Triple Sec
1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Ice
2 oz Old Thyme Ginger Beer

Add a slice of Lime to the bottom of your favourite tall drinking glass
Fill with Ice
Pour the first three ingredients into the glass over the ice
Add two dashes of Bitters and complete with Ginger Beer
Stir to mix thoroughly
Enjoy Responsibly!
