Editor's Note

Demerara rum meets a duo of amari in this sophisticated, stirred riff on the Cuba Libre. Saline and clarified lime provide a precise, clean finish to a deeply complex pour.

This is a brilliant, sophisticated take on a classic! The use of amari to build that cola-like complexity is inspired. Do you have a preferred method or resource you recommend for the agar-clarification process?
