FEATURED COCKTAIL

Cover of Night

2 oz Daufuskie Island Dark Rum

0.5 oz honey syrup

0.25 oz fresh lemon juice

2 dashes Angostura bitters

1 dash aromatic bitters

1 wide lemon peel

Combine dark rum, honey syrup, lemon juice and both bitters in a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir slowly and deliberately for 25–30 seconds until well chilled. Strain into a chilled rocks glass over a single large ice cube. Hold the lemon peel skin-side down over the glass and give it a firm twist to express the oils across the surface. Run the peel around the rim and drop it in.

Tasting Notes

Smooth, aromatic and slightly sweet with a long finish. The dark rum carries the honey beautifully without either overpowering the other.
