Rum Cocktails

Rum Espresso Martini The wonderful world of the split-base riff. In this take on an Espresso Martini, we are adding depth by swapping in rum for vodka but adding even more complexity and flavor by splitting the 2 oz base spirit between rum and Nardini Mandorla to introduce some nuttiness and notes of cherry that complement the espresso. Ingredients:

• 1 oz Misguided Caribbean Queens Red Sky Dark Rum • 1 oz Nardini Mandorla • 1 oz St. Elder Espresso Liqueur

• 1 oz Espresso, or Cold Brew Concentrate • ½ oz Jack Rudy Demerara Syrup • Coffee Bean, for garnish

Directions: In a shaker tin, measure out all ingredients. Add ice and shake until chilled and diluted - shake hard! This will also aerate the coffee which will give us the Espresso Martini's iconic foam. Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass and garnish with a coffee bean atop the foam.
