I’ve teamed up with my friends at Watkins1868 to create a local twist on a classic. This cocktail utilizes their new Aromatic Bitters which has delicious hints of vanilla, tart cherries and hibiscus. All flavors that meld perfectly with a funky Jamaican rum and fresh sweet black tea. Check out the recipe below, cheers y’all!



 

ingredients:

  • 8-16 Dashes Aromatic Bitters

  • 2 oz | 60 ml White Jamaican Rum

  • 1 oz | 30 ml Sweet Tea Syrup

  • 1 oz | 30 ml Fresh Lemon Juice

  • 8 Mint Leaves

  • Fresh or Dehydrated Lemon Wheel (Garnish)

  • 3 Maraschino Cherries (Garnish)

instructions:

Add mint leaves to a tall glass then muddle gently. Combine all other ingredients except bitters and garnish to the glass. Swizzle the cocktail until incorporated and top the cocktail with more crushed or pebble ice. Add 8-16 dashes of Aromatic Bitters to the glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel, cherries and add a straw. Serve and enjoy!
