1
Select and pre-chill an OLD-FASHIONED GLASS.
2
Prepare garnish of lime peel disc. Traditionally, limes used to make this cocktail are not cut into slices or wedges. Instead, cut a round disc from the side of the fruit, large enough that some of the fruit's flesh backs the peel of the disc.
3
POUR the rum and sugar into glass.
4
Then SQUEEZE the lime disc between finger and thumb before dropping into the cocktail. (This expresses the oil from the skin and little of the juice into the Ti'Punch.).
5
STIR and consider adding ice - either one or two large cubes depending on glass size, or preferably, a small chunk of block ice.
6
There's no additional garnish to the lime disc using in the making of this cocktail but some like to serve with a small spoon to enable the drinker to tease out more juice from the lime disc &/or stir ice.
