Recipe:
- 45ml Plantation 5yo Barbados rum
- 15ml Saint James Royal Ambré Rhum
- 15ml Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
- 15ml Morenita Cream Sherry
- 1bsp simple syrup
- 2 dashes Bittermen's Elemakule Tiki Bitters
- 1 dash The Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Bitters
Stir everything on ice until sufficiently chilled. Strain into a prechilled cocktail glass, garnish with an orange zest.
Here we have another drink that reads as if it were made just for me. Meaning in this case: slightly aged rum, stirred, deep, dark, and spicy, with a hint of fruit from several fortified wines.
It comes from world famous Death & Co. and the Manhattan section at the end of their fabulous book, where many a treasure is hidden. A wonderfully balanced blend of molasses, fresh sugarcane and oak from the lightly aged Agricole, dried red fruits, and various spices and herbs. Simply a wonderful cocktail.
