dune buggy

3/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Bonal Gentiane-Quina
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Cinnamon Syrup
10 drop Bitter Queen's Chinese 5 Spice Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a spritz of Chinese 5 Spice Bitters (3 drops).For a cocktail selection Sunday night, I delved into Cure: New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix'Em and selected the Dune Buggy. The recipe was crafted at Cure by bartender Colin Bugbee, and it came about when he found the combination of Bonal and Smith & Cross to generate apple notes which led to the cinnamon syrup. In the glass, the Dune Buggy drove to the senses with a caramel, lime, and spice aroma. Next, lime, caramel, and grape notes on the sip cruised into funky rum and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
