Full-bodied like the rum that so influences herbal-influenced this late-night tipple

Too heavy on the Becherovka for me. I added some maple syrup to round it out and then midway through a dash of fig molasses, which really made it.

I had some odds and ends boozes on hand for rum and brandy, used Cocchi vermouth, and Bittercube’s blackstrap bitters (nutmeg, kola, cinnamon). Finished with orange peel. I did shake it, rather than stirred. I found this less boozy and sweeter than the rating. Made a lovely, complex Christmasy cocktail.

A nice drink but I’ll definitely go easier on the Becherovka next time. The rum is a great backbone to the drink but is a little drowned out by the herbal liquer

Antica formula vermouth, Maison Rouge VSOP, Goslings Black Seal rum, Becherovka, black walnut bitters, how could this be bad.

May not have had the right rum for this so I used 20ml each, an eight year old Barbados Rum and Plantation Original Dark. The Becherovka and Black Walnut play well together amidst a surround of rum/cognac and are well supported by a suprisingly subtle foundation from the Punt E Mes. I liked this. Easy on the Becherovka and use plenty of the Black Walnut. Five stars!
