This robust rum cocktail marries the rich warmth of dark rum with the natural sweetness of maple. A zesty lemon kick makes it a truly distinctive sip.
Combine dark rum, maple syrup, lemon juice, and Angostura bitters in a shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
💡 Listen for the sound of the ice cubes to ensure proper chilling.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass over a large, fresh ice cube.
💡 A large ice cube melts slower, preventing dilution.
Garnish with a candied lemon peel.
🍸 Adjust maple syrup to your sweetness preference; start with less and add more if desired.
Dark rum's deep molasses notes are enhanced by the complex, earthy sweetness of maple syrup. Lemon juice cuts through the richness, and bitters add a balancing spice.
