When talking about boozy stir-down cocktails often whiskey, brandy or gin take the centre stage, while rum stands a little off to the side being associated more with summery tiki drinks. However, a good rum-based stir-down can be just as wholesome and comforting this cold time of the year.
Base of this drink is aged blended rum with rich notes of molasses, caramel, tropical spice and fruit. Amaro Averna brings bitter-sweet complexity to the mix with liquorice, orange and cola flavours, while green chartreuse contributes its signature sweet herbaceousness. A touch of Velvet Falernum further expands the complexity with addition of tropical spices, seasoning the cocktail together with Peychaud’s and orange bitters.
Bywater is a remarkable boozy sipper full of sweet and deep flavours blending spirit of the Caribbean with a subtle addition of Sicilian amaro to a deliciously fantastic effect.
