Method
Preparation
Chill glass
Place a coupe or old-fashioned glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Measure ingredients
Measure 2 oz aged rum, 0.75 oz orange curaçao, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz rich simple syrup into a jigger or small mixing cup.
Mixing & Shaking
Combine in shaker
Add the measured rum, orange curaçao, lime juice, lemon juice, and rich simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted.
Double strain
Discard ice from the chilled glass. Using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer, strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or an old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube, depending on preference.
Garnish & Serve
Express the oils of a grapefruit or orange twist over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down and giving it a firm twist. Run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as garnish.
Serve immediately. The Yellow Spot balances bright citrus, warm orange liqueur, and the rounded sweetness of aged rum — sip and enjoy.
