Across the Pacific

 

Today’s clever cocktail is the brainchild of New York City bartender Meaghan Dorman.  It starts with two pours of Jamaican rum, one being over-proof and is then embellished with fresh lime, Orgeat and Averna amaro.  The combination of strong spirits with the sweet almond character of Orgeat and the bitter edge of Averna produces a complex layer of flavors that meld together beautifully.  Below we share with you Meaghan‘s recipe with specific brands and offer you our notes on optional substitutions.

 

Across the Pacific

In a shaker glass with one ice cube add:

  • 1 Ounce Appleton Reserve Rum (Any well-bred golden rum will do)
  • ½ Ounce Smith & Cross Jamaican rum (strongly preferred for this drink, no sub)
  • ½ Ounce Averna Amaro (the one and only)
  • ¾ Ounce Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • ¾ Ounce Orgeat (we like Fee Brothers)

Shake vigorously until ice cube has melted.  Strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice.  Dust with fresh grated nutmeg.  Garnish with a lime wheel.
