The combination of the Rum, dates, chocolate and plum (I used Sling Plum & Rootbeer bitters) is quite unique and odd, might not be welcoming to the traditional palate. But I quite much like this uniqueness. It’s good and bizarre in a good way.
By the way, I did not infuse the dates in the Martini, but instead used half a teaspoon of Silan (dates syrup) mixed into the White Martini (I used Cinzano Bianco instead).
Recommended for those who like dates and stone fruit cocktails in general.
