ducati

1 oz Aged Rum (Rhum Barbancourt 8 Year)
1/2 oz Amaro Braulio
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)
14-16 leaf Mint

Bruise mint leaves in a Julep cup, add rest of ingredients, top with crushed ice, and garnish with mint sprigs and a drizzle of Jamaican rum (1/8 oz Wray & Nephew).
Two Sundays ago, I opened up the Bartender'sChoice app and came upon the Ducati by Cameron Parish at The Everleigh in Melbourne. The concept of a Julep with Amaro Braulio reminded me of the Thieves in the Night that I had enjoyed a week and a half prior, so I was curious to see how this citrus-driven rum number would work. Once assembled, the Ducati raced to the nose with mint and rum funk aromas. Next, lemon and caramel notes on the sip turned towards rum, pine, bitter-herbal, and mint flavors on the swallow.
