This rich and sophisticated drink is what you want in your hand as you sit back in your easy chair and put your feet up. Use a nice aged rum as this cocktail is essentially a showcase for that. Though we often reach for the Bittercube blackstrap bitters with rum drinks, because we’re using the molasses-forward muscovado simple syrup, we find their Cherry Bark Vanilla bitters imparts a delightful contrast with its notes of vanilla and cocoa. We love aging this cocktail in an oak barrel, too, so check that out as well! Enjoy!
