Serve in an Old-fashioned glass
2 oz | Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old) |
0.08 oz | Yellow Chartreuse (or génépy liqueur) |
1⁄2 oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
1⁄6 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
1 dash | Angostura Aromatic Bitters |
Garnish: Mint sprigs bouquet, lemon spiral, & Luxardo Maraschino Cherry
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into ice-filled glass (preferably over a large cube or chunk of block ice).
Rum character shines in this citrusy aperitivo. Chartreuse plays a very subtle supporting role with the bitters perhaps more forward.
Recipe adapted from 1935 Bar La Florida, Havana, Cuba, menu. This rejuvenated classic brought to my attention by Jason E. Clapham at the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford.
