Ingredients
- ¼ fl oz demerara syrup or a little more, to taste
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 2 fl oz dark rum I used Planteray original dark, but as you have/prefer
- 1 strip orange peel
- 1 maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the demerara syrup, angostura and orange bitters in a glass, mixing jug or cocktail shaker along with the rum and some pieces of ice. Stir well to cool the mixture and dilute gently.
- Prepare an old fashioned (rocks) glass with a large cube or ball of ice and strain the rum mixture over the top. Twist the piece of orange peel over the glass to let a little of the oils go into the drink, then rub it gently around the edge of the glass before adding on top.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry on a cocktail stick, if you like, and serve.
Notes
Demerara sugar is made with equal parts demerara sugar and water, by volume. Demerara sugar is a coarse brown sugar that is sometimes called turbinado sugar in the US.
