Refreshing

Spirit Forward

I needed to find a reason to use some of these new bitters I picked up from Old Fashioned Lounge; these are their Star Anise Bitters. This led to using this Nocelino chocolate from Maraska, which is a great flavor combination.

Start by rinsing a rocks glass with Absinthe, fill with fresh ice, and set aside. In a cocktail shaker, add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt and dried lime wheels. Enjoy!

Editor's Note

Aged rum meets chocolate and anise in this moody, aromatic riff on a classic. The absinthe rinse provides a sharp, herbal backbone that balances the rich, dark profile.
