Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Fill a large glass or small pitcher with ice.
Pour the rum, demerara or simple syrup, and bitters into the glass. Stir with the ice – you want to stir several times to make sure everything is evenly combined and chilled
Place fresh ice or one large ice cube in each of 2 cocktail glasses. Use a strainer to pour the cocktail over the fresh ice leaving the old ice behind in the pitcher.
Twist the orange peel to express the oils over the cocktail and then place the orange in the glass. Garnish with dark maraschino cherries and serve.

Notes

If you don’t have a demerara syrup or simple syrup, mix 2 tsp granulated sugar with 2 tsp water and the bitters before adding ice and mixing in the rum
