About
This cocktail was created by Jordan Chiavacci (@thecountryclubbartender). It has a rich base with soft nutty, chocolate, and warm spice notes, but the tobacco bitters keep it from leaning too sweet. Jordan uses Kuleana Hōkūlei here, which works especially well, with the rum bringing flavors of ripe fruit, vanilla, dry sherry, and toasted oak. The orange oil brightens the finish, while the cherry fits the darker profile of the drink.Cheers y’all!
