I found that the Black Barrel is a great rum for mixing cocktails because it is dryer than some of the other rums I have tried recently and the addition of cinnamon and vanilla elements, from the use of charred ex-bourbon barrels used in the aging process, worked deliciously with the walnut liqueur. To add in a little more bite, I opted for some spiced brown sugar syrup, which also added some depth to the flavor profile and then finished it off with some classic Angostura aromatic bitters.
Recipe:
- 5 ounces Mount Gay Black Barrel
- ½ ounce Toschi Nocello Walnut Liqueur
- ½ ounce Monin Spiced Brown Sugar Syrup
- 3-4 dashes Angostura Bitters
Method:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice
- Stir to chill and combine ingredients
- Fine strain into a rocks glass over an ice cube or fresh ice
- Garnish & Enjoy!
