This play on a classic daquiri is inspired by Lassiter Distilling’s Rum au Cafe.

Yields 1 cocktail

Software

  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 oz demerara syrup

  • 1 oz unaged column still rum (such as Lassiter’s NC Rum)

  • 3/4 oz aged pot still rum

  • 1/4 oz coffee infused rum (such as Lassiter’s Rum au Cafe)

  • 1 dash mole bitters

  • Garnish: lime wheel or peel

Note
 I love the mole bitters with this drink. Get it if you can. If you can’t a tiki bitters would do nicely, or plain old Angostura is nice too. Just don’t skip the bitters altogether.

Hardware

  • Boston-style Cocktail shaker

  • Jigger

  • Coupe glass

  • Cocktail Strainer

  • Fine Mesh strainer

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in the small half of a cocktail shaker.

  2. Add 12oz ice to the shaker.

  3. Chill coupe glass by filling it with ice and a splash of water (so the ice doesn’t stick).

  4. Shake until frost forms on the outside of the shaker.

  5. Dump the ice from coupe glass.

  6. Double strain into glass and serve with a lime wheel or peel.

Cheers!
