Bosun Bird
Recipe:
- 30ml Jamaican blended aged rum with a bit of funk (medium ester, e.g. Berry Bros Jamaica or Plantation Xaymaca)
- 15ml Chartreuse verte
- 15ml Cointreau
- 15ml maraschino liqueur
- 22.5ml fresh lime juice
Shake everything on ice until sufficiently chilled, fine strain into a prechilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.
We love Daiquiris, we love the famous Last Word, so we love this blend of the two just as much! Created just a few years ago by Jason Clapham, who has shared quite a few of his own recipes over the years, the great advantage of the Bosun Bird is that if you have a well-stocked home bar, you should have all the ingredients you need.
Once shaken, the drink impresses with a beautiful balance of freshness, spice, and tropical flavors, dry and slightly sweet, very aromatic. Certainly not for "beginners", and depending on the brand of maraschino liqueur, you could also reduce it slightly to suit your own taste.
