scorpion kick

2 oz White Rum (Privateer)
1 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Crème de Cacao (Bols)
1/4 oz Cane Syrup (Sirop JM)
6-8 leaf Mint

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass; no garnish was specified, but I matched the mint leaf in the photo.Two Fridays ago, I got home late from the bar, and I wanted something refreshing. When I opened up the Bartender's Choice app, I spotted the Mulata Daiquiri-Mojito-like Scorpion Kick by Dan Greenbaum at Diamond Reef NYC circa 2017 that would make good use of my mint patch and hit the spot otherwise. In the glass, the Scorpion Kick came at the nose with mint, chocolate, and lime aromas. Next, lime and vegetal notes on the sip ventured over to rum, chocolate, and mint flavors on the swallow.
