Ingredienser

  • 2 oz Gold Rum
  • ½ oz Falernum Liqueur
  • ½ oz Orange Curaçao
  • ¾ oz fresh lime juice
  • ¼ oz sugar syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Lime wheel or twist, for garnish, optional

Utrustning

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Measuring Jigger
  • Strainer & Fine-strainer
  • Coupe Glass

Instruktioner

  • Prep Glass: Chill your martini glass with some ice.
  • Add Lime Juice: Add ¾ oz fresh lime juice to the shaker.
  • Add Sugar Syrup: Include ¼ oz sugar syrup.
  • Add Orange Curaçao: Pour in ½ oz Orange Curaçao.
  • Add Falernum: Measure and add ½ oz Falernum Liqueur.
  • Add Rum: Pour 2 oz Gold Rum into the shaker.
  • Prep Shaker: Fill your cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  • Shake Well: Shake the mixture vigorously until well chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Fine strain the cocktail into a coupe glass.
  • Garnish: Place a lime wheel or twist on the rim for garnish.

Anteckningar

Substitutes:

  • Gold Rum: If you don't have gold rum, try using white rum for a lighter flavor profile or dark rum for a richer taste.
  • Falernum: I've used homemade Falernum syrup by infusing simple syrup with cloves, ginger, and lime zest when store-bought wasn't available.
  • Orange Curaçao: Triple sec works as an alternative if you need a substitute; it's slightly sweeter but still provides that citrus kick.
  • Sugar Syrup: You can make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat.

Making a Pitcher:

  • Scale: To serve 8, multiply all ingredients by 8, resulting in 16 oz of gold rum, 4 oz each of Falernum and orange curaçao, 6 oz of lime juice, and 2 oz of sugar syrup.
  • Mix: Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher filled with ice and stir well.
  • Serve: Strain into individual coupe glasses, garnish with lime wheels or twists, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Rum Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic rum alternative; these mimic the flavor without the alcohol content.
  • Falernum Substitute: Opt for a spiced simple syrup infused with similar spices like cloves and ginger.
  • Orange Curaçao Substitute: Use orange juice with a dash of bitters for complexity.
  • Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using these substitutes for a non-alcoholic version.

Making it Vegan:

Ensure any store-bought syrups or substitutes are labeled vegan if needed.
