As I was approaching Compere Lapin, I bumped into Tad Carducci who was leading a bus-drawn Diplomatico Rum cocktail crawl across the city. Tad invited me to join them at the Cure, so I agreed and hopped on the bus. There, we were treated to a small menu of Diplomatico drinks, and I selected the Little Boots created by Cure bartender Ryan Gannon who also was the one who mixed it for me. Once prepared, the Little Boots gave forth a lemon, clove, and cinnamon bouquet to the nose. Next, a creamy lemon sip transitioned into rum, nutty, and clementine flavors on the swallow with a spice-driven finish.
