Gold Dust Woman Article Recipe

Alex Jump inherited a love of her father’s favorite summertime drink, the Rum & Tonic. She uses that here as the launching pad for a Collins riff, with distinctive grassy notes of rhum agricole and an earthy bite from a syrup made with turmeric and coconut water. (One of Jump’s favorite moves is making syrups with a base liquid other than plain water.) Lengthening the drink with Fever-Tree Club Soda delivers clean effervescence to finish.
