About
The Rum Old Fashioned is a spirit-forward twist on America's oldest cocktail, replacing whiskey with spiced rum to create something wonderfully warm and tropical. The vanilla, cinnamon, and allspice notes of spiced rum deepen and integrate beautifully when combined with simple syrup and bitters, and the result is a smoother, more aromatic Old Fashioned that carries the spirit of the Caribbean while honoring the structure of a true classic. Served over a large ice cube with an expressed orange twist, it is elegant, complex, and incredibly easy to love.
Instructions
- Combine spiced rum, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters in a mixing glass.
- Add ice and stir for 25–30 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain over a large single ice cube in a rocks glass.
- Express an orange peel over the surface to release the oils, then use it as a garnish.
