3/4 oz Punt e Mes
1/2 oz Apricot Liqueur (Rothman & Winter)
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Thursdays after work, I thought about how well rhum agricole works with apricot liqueur such as in Rhum Agricot and Fourth Voyage that led to me crafting the Mount Pelee. Also, earlier during my shift, I made a guest Julie Reiner's Slope; therefore, I wondered what a Slope would be like with rhum agricole in place of the rye whiskey. For a name, I was inspired by how the Slope (short for Park Slope) was a neighborhood in Brooklyn, and I dubbed this Diamond Rock after a mini-island off the coast of Martinique.
