Wine Enthusiast – October 2019

RUM WILD

The Old Fashioned gets

modernized with a new spirit.

At

heart, this is a rum-based

Old Fashioned. But rather

than fruit muddled in, this

drink has the glass rinsed

with maraschino liqueur for a subtle

cherry-almond hint. This recipe was

built to showcase Afrohead, a rum made

in Trinidad from Dominican sugarcane,

which has a brown sugar and spice flavor

profile; any good aged rum can be used.
