Step 1

To make the base, combine macadamias and water in a large blender at high speed until smooth.

Step 2

Pour into a saucepan and add sugar. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium and boil for 5 minutes to make a light syrup. Pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate. When chilled, stir in remaining base ingredients.

Step 3

To prepare four small cocktails, pour ½ cup (250ml) of the base into the blender, add rum, juices and ice and process at high speed until the mixture is light and frothy. Pour into four ½-cup (125ml) glasses and top with extra ice.

Step 4

Store remaining base mixture in fridge for up to a week.
