Recipe Description
Rum, lime, sugar…a daiquiri pure and simple is the best way to use a really good white (or coconut!!) rum…see my recipes here. I had no idea, however, that an older rum would taste so darned good in a classic sour preparation–thank you saltpepperskillet for the inspiration! I swapped out their promoted rum, however, for Havana Club Anejo 3 Anos and it sure was the right choice! I woke up thinking about this drink (don’t be alarmed–this doesn’t happen too often!)
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Havana Club Anejo 3 Anos Rum
- 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
-
3/4 ounce simple syrup
made from white granulated or demerara (turbinado or raw) sugar - 1 egg white
-
2-3 drops Angustora bitters
for garnish
Preparation
Put a sour glass in the freezer.
Combine all ingredients except bitters in shaker and shake WITHOUT ICE. (Your shaker might feel like exploding after this – be careful when opening!)
Add ice. Shake until cold.
Service
Strain drink into cold glass. Top with drops of bitters.
Just brilliant! From the name (Corpse reviver…) to the undead look! LOL!
