The Devil’s Handshake Rum Cocktail is yet another rummy twist on a haunted Tequila classic and is a pleasant mix of fruits and tequila, with a bit of a bitter twang.

The ginger purée really gives this drink a kick along by adding a subtle sweet yet spicy taste. The egg whites create a smooth texture and helps to bring all of the flavours together.

But if you’re not a big fan of egg whites, or its just to hard for you to get right, you can give that part a miss with minimal impact to the drink.
