First-Time Caller Cocktail
Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces Jamaican Rum (Aged)
1/4 ounce Crème De Cacao
1/4 ounce Banana Liqueur
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Orange twist and Cherries for garnish
Instructions:
Chill the Glass:
Begin by chilling an Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice, and set it aside for a few minutes.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a mixing glass, combine the Jamaican rum, crème de cacao, and banana liqueur.
Add the two dashes of Angostura bitters to incorporate the traditional Old Fashioned flavor profile.
Stir:
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the cocktail slightly. This ensures a smooth taste.
Prepare the Glass:
Empty the ice from your Old Fashioned glass.
Optionally, you can express (squeeze to release oils) an orange twist inside the glass to coat it with a citrus note before adding the drink.
Strain:
Strain the cocktail into the chilled Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube. Using a large cube slows down the dilution, keeping your drink strong and flavorful longer.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with an orange twist and a skewer of cherries.
Serve immediately and enjoy the deep, complex flavors with a tropical nuance.
