Rum Old-Fashioned
Botran No. 12 Rum $44.99 Guatemala 287584
This rich and warming twist on the classic old-fashioned swaps whisky with aged rum, bringing notes of caramel, vanilla and baking spice to the forefront. Touches of maple and apple add a distinctly Canadian fall flavour, while aromatic bitters and orange oil keep the cocktail balanced and elegant.
In a mixing glass, combine rum, Maple Apple Syrup and bitters. Fill with ice and stir for 10 to 15 seconds, until well chilled. Strain into a short glass over a large ice cube. Express orange peel oil over surface of cocktail and discard peel, then garnish drink with apple slice and serve.
2 oz (60 ml) Botran No. 12 Rum ¼ oz (7.5 ml) Maple Apple Syrup* 3 dashes Angostura bitters 1 orange peel 1 slice apple, for garnish
