Ingredients

  • 4 oz rum - I recommend Flor de Caña 12 Year Aged Rum
  • 2 tsp demerara syrup or simple syrup
  • 4 dashes orange angostura bitters
  • 2 orange peels
  • Optional - dark maraschino cherries

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
