It's Old Fashioned Week! An instagram friend of mine made an Old Fashioned with Bumbu rum the other day and I wanted to follow suit! I knew I’d be a little off on the ingredients but some of the credit for the flavor profile goes to him. I used my turbinado instead of demerara, which was 1:1 for another cocktail I made, and used a barspoon of Licor 43 instead of vanilla syrup and a barspoon of China-China instead of old fashioned bitters. Overall, kinda a different drink, but also I think I see ...

Editor's Note

Bumbu rum meets China-China and Licor 43 in this spice-heavy riff. The result is a rich, banana-forward Old Fashioned that leans into the sweeter side of the spectrum.
