This rich and fruity cocktail features dark rum as its base, perfectly balanced by the sweet, stone-fruit notes of apricot liqueur and bright lime. A hint of bitters adds depth, evoking the warm, complex flavors of a tropical evening.
Combine dark rum, apricot liqueur, lime juice, and Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled, about 15 seconds.
Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass.
💡 Chilling the glass beforehand helps keep the drink cold longer.
Garnish with a lime wheel and a brandied cherry.
🍸 Choose a good quality aged dark rum for the best flavor foundation.
The molasses and vanilla notes of dark rum are amplified by apricot liqueur, while the lime juice provides a crucial tartness that prevents the drink from being cloying. Angostura bitters add a layer of spice and complexity, tying the flavors together.
