Ingredients
Clouds:
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Pinch Kosher salt
Drink:
- Lime wedge
- Edible black glitter for rim
- Ice
- 1 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
- 10 ounces ginger beer
- 1 teaspoon edible drink glitter
- 4 ounces dark rum traditionally Gosling’s Black Seal rum
- Garnish: lime wheel
Instructions
Make clouds:
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, lime juice, sugar, and pinch of salt until light and fluffy with soft peaks and almost doubled in size, about 30 seconds. Set aside while you make the drinks.
Make drink:
- Pour some of the black glitter onto a plate or a piece of parchment paper. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of two highball glasses. Roll the moistened rim around in the black glitter.
- Fill the glasses with ice. Pour ginger beer, lime, and drink glitter into glasses and stir to combine.
- Gently pour dark rum on top of the drink, or over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface so the rum floats on top.
- Dollop or pipe whipped cream mixture over top and garnish each drink with a lime wheel and a bat.
- Cheers!
