Method
Spirit
Measure
Measure 2 oz of Ron Zacapa 23-year-old rum using a jigger and pour it into a large old-fashioned glass or Glencairn.
Optional chill
If you prefer the spirit slightly chilled, add one large ice cube to the glass and let it sit for 30–60 seconds to slightly lower the temperature without heavy dilution.
Optional garnish
Add cherry
If using a Luxardo cherry, place it on the rim or drop it into the glass for a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
Serving / glassware
Serve immediately. Sip neat or with the ice cube and garnish as prepared. Enjoy slowly to appreciate the complex aromas of molasses, caramel, dried fruit, cocoa, and oak characteristic of Ron Zacapa 23 y.o.
