Poached Apple and Cinnamon Daiquiri

*Lightly poach 1 apple, cut into wedges in a syrup made from 1⁄2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup of water until soft. Cool.

Place apple segments in the glass of a Boston shaker and muddle (see notes below). Pour over the rum, lime juice and green apple syrup. Shake vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.

For an extra touch you can make a mixture of sugar and cinnamon – upend the martini glass into this and roll the rim around it before straining the drink.

*Note: to infuse the rum, place 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks in the bottle. Ideally, do this three days before using it, or you can speed the process up by placing the bottle somewhere warm, such as the hot water cupboard. Makes 1 drink
