mr. buttle

2 oz White Rum (Privateer)
1 oz Manzanilla Sherry (Tio Pepe Fino)
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Tuesdays ago, I was searching through the Kindred Cocktails database when I landed on the Mr. Buttle by Erik Hakkinen at Seattle's Zig Zag Café as published in Imbibe Magazine in 2014. Overall, the combination of white rum, dry fortified wine, and a liqueur reminded me structurally of the Georgetown Club, so I was curious to give this one a go. Once prepared, the Mr. Buttle welcomed the senses with lemon oil and caramelized fruit aromas. Next, a semi-crisp sip of white wine and caramel flowed into rum, almond, and banana flavors on the swallow.
