Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.Two Fridays ago, I was perusing the Kindred Cocktails database when I came across the Quartermaster that reminded me a little of the 1919 Cocktail due to its split dark rum-whiskey base, aromatized wine element, herbal notes, and chocolate bitters. The recipe was crafted by Jared Lane at the Gin Joint in Charleston at or before 2014. In the glass, the Quartermaster issued a caramel, molasses, and dark herbal aroma. Next, caramel and grape swirled on the sip, the swallow proclaimed rum, chocolate, molasses, and cherry flavors with a chocolate and orange finish.
