Mixing Tips
Ice
- If you use a large ice ball, after removing it from the freezer, let it stay for some minutes. Otherwise, it might crack once you pour the liquid over the ice ball.
Glassware
- A chilled glass keeps your drink longer and more enjoyable. Your used ice will melt slower, and the taste will stay longer.
Alcoholic Ingredients
- If you use cocktail bitters in a drink, just use them carefully. Then it will be tricky to balance the drink. 1 or 2 dashes, even some more drops, could misbalance the mixed drink to the more herbal/bitter side.
Garnish
- Be careful and confident if you want to zest a citrus fruit with a zest peeler!

Editor Recipe Notes
So we run over the Brand of Discarded. We tried their products without even knowing about the company. Usually, I don’t keep appointments with a spirit company.
We have no more space on the bar shelf, and you can not invent the wheel. But discarded banana peel rum was something different. We like the idea that they used dried banana peels to infuse their rum.
The rum is, by the way, very high quality. The rum was used to infuse casks with their flavor and finish some whisky. And the combination of banana, rum, and chocolate is again a no-brainer.
It’s slightly sweet, so best enjoyed as a dessert.
