Havana Benediction

AI-generatedMediumRocks

Smoky-sweet and unhurried, like a late-night conversation in a rum-soaked courtyard.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz Dark Rum
  • 1/2 oz Spiced Rum
  • 3/4 oz Benedictine
  • 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1/4 oz Campari

Method

  1. 11. Place a large ice cube into a rocks glass and set it aside to chill.
  2. 22. Combine dark rum, spiced rum, Benedictine, sweet vermouth, and Campari in a mixing glass filled with ice.
  3. 33. Stir steadily for 40 seconds — this drink needs full dilution to soften the herbal edges.
  4. 44. Strain over the large ice cube in the rocks glass.
  5. 55. Allow the drink to rest for 30 seconds before serving to let the aromas bloom.

PRO TIP

The 30-second resting period is not optional theatre — warming slightly off the ice opens the Benedictine's honey and saffron notes that would otherwise stay buried under cold.

Garnish — wide orange twist
