Smoky Rum Old Fashioned

Zolez Smoky Rum Old Fashioned

Serves 1

Mostly burnt caramel and grassy notes from the rum with just a hint of citrus. The bitters add a subtle layer of smoke that works really well with the rum. Makes me want to do something rum.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces Ron Zolez Dorado or Anejo
• 2 dashes Cocktail Punk Smoked Orange Bitters
• 5-10 ml demerara syrup (1:1 ratio)
• orange peel for garnish

Mixology

1. In a double old fashioned glass, add a large cube of ice.
2. Build the drink by pouring in rum, syrup and the bitters.
3. Gently stir 15 seconds. Squeeze the orange peel over the drink to release the oil and add the peel to the drink.
