Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for a few minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
- 2
Combine ingredients
Add the aged rum, cognac, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, falernum, allspice dram, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
- 3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with regular ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and well chilled.
- 4
Prepare serving glass
If you chilled the glass with ice water, dump it out. Fill the chilled rocks glass or coupe with crushed ice (about 1 cup) to create a cold bed for the cocktail.
- 5
Double-strain over crushed ice
Strain the shaken cocktail through a fine mesh strainer (and the shaker’s strainer if available) over the crushed ice. This removes small ice shards and any pulp for a clean, silky texture.
- 6
Garnish and finish
Express the oils of the grapefruit twist over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the cocktail and giving it a quick twist, then drop it in or rest a grapefruit wheel on the rim. Add a mint sprig for aroma if desired. Serve immediately.
- 7
Serve
Provide a short straw or small cocktail spoon for sipping through the crushed ice. Sip slowly to enjoy the layered spice, citrus, and oak flavors.
