the smoke also rises

2 oz White Rum (Hamilton's White Stache)
1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Amaro Sfumato
1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo)
1/4 oz Simple Syrup

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lime wheel (omit).
Two Sundays, I decided to make an intriguing Hemingway Daiquiri riff called The Smoke Also Rises from Punch. The recipe was crafted by Orestes Cruz at Atlanta's Empire State South, and I was intrigued for I have enjoyed Daiquiris with Amaro Sfumato in the Island Time and the Lush Interlude. In the glass, the drink proffered herbal, smoky, and nutty cherry aromas. Next, a lime, grapefruit, and roast-noted sip flowed into rum, smoky, and bitter-herbal flavors on the swallow with a nutty cherry and char finish.
