Ingredients

  1. 2oz Castaway Series Barrel Aged Rum
  2. .5 oz Amaro Montenegro
  3. 2 Barspoons of Luxardo Cherry Syrup
  4. 3 Dashes of Angostura Bitters

Directions

  1. Using a jigger, measure all ingredients into a mixing glass without ice.
  2. Add ice to the mixing glass so that there's more ice than liquid. 
  3. Use a bar spoon to carefully stir the cocktail for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add a square or sphere ice cube to your rocks glass and use a hawthorne strainer to pour your stirred cocktail into the glass.
  5. Hold an orange peel with the skin side facing the drink, then pinch it to release the oils over the top of the cocktail. Rub the peel along the rim of the glass before dropping it in.
  6. Garnish with a Luxardo Cherry.
