Happy Thursday! Busy week means short caption. May talk in phrases.
Nope, that’s actually more work, haha. Today I have a boozy, stirred, tropical-leaning cocktail. It brings a rum blend, 3:1 aged rum and unaged rhum agricole, bringing rich sugar notes and some grassy funk for a diverse rum presence. The sweetness and spices come from delicious golden falernum and aromatic bitters (gifted to me by @thebittertruthcompany) tie it all together. I wanted to highlight some of the darker notes from the rum and balance out the sweetness with just a touch of Cynar.
Recipe
1.5oz aged rum (@chairmansreserveofficial)
0.5oz rhum unaged (@rhumclementusa)
0.5oz falernum (@thebittertruthcompany, gifted)
Heavy barspoon Cynar (@cynarusa)
1 dash aromatic bitters (@thebittertruthcompany, gifted)
Stirred, strained over large ice cube, garnish with lime twist (the scent alone really adds to the drink!). The cool ice texture was inspired by a trick from @thebitterfairy.
