My style of cocktailing is familiar with a modern twist. I like to utilize ingredients that are mostly easy to get or make.

Shake all ingredients except the rum in a shaker with ice. Then dirty dump or strain and add pebble ice. Lastly float the Diplomatico aged rum on top!

Editor's Note

Gentian amaro and tropical gin redefine the Mai Tai as a sessionable, low-ABV sipper. The rum float provides a aromatic anchor to the floral, pineapple-forward profile.
