Idle Assembly is inspired by time spent in Dunmore Town on Harbour IsIand in the Bahamas, where one of the founders David Flint Wood has lived for almost thirty years.
There used to be a sign at Harbour Island’s Government Dock, a list of rules and regulations, including that there should be:
NO LOAFING OR IDLE ASSEMBLY.
This appeared harsh to us, as a glass of rum and a group of people not doing very much seemed to sum up not only a particular appeal of the island, but also a frame of mind that could export itself.
David Flint Wood’s shares his favourite rum recipe:
A very simple idle daiquiri
2or 3 oz Idle Assembly
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
Shake with fresh ice
(Perhaps with sprig of mint for ice to bruise)
Pour
