Centre Stage

• 1 fresh peach, skin removed
• 2 ice cubes (about 60 g)
• 30 ml dark rum (for an extra kick use 50 ml dark rum)
• 30 ml passion fruit drink
• 20 ml ginger ale
• 2 tsp vanilla syrup
• To decorate: ¼ vanilla pod

De-stone peach and cut into quarters. Put the ice cubes, dark rum, passion fruit drink, three pieces of peach, ginger ale and vanilla syrup into the blender. Blend for 15 seconds on speed 2.

Pour the cocktail through a fine sieve into a glass filled with some crushed ice cubes.

Grind the quarter of vanilla pod in the mini-grinder using speed 1.

Mix the remaining peach quarter in the mini-chopper for 6 pulses on speed 1, then arrange on the cocktail and add a touch of the ground vanilla.

Tips: Vanilla syrup is sold in bottles specifically for use in cocktails. Alternatively, use 2 teaspoons cane sugar syrup and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
