rockefeller

2 oz Chairman's Legacy Aged Rum (Doorly's 12 Year)
1/2 oz Amaro Braulio
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/4 oz Cinnamon Demerara Syrup
Stir with ice and strain into a coupe that had been partially rimmed with cinnamon and had the inside smoked with a torched piece of cinnamon stick.
Two Thursdays ago, I uncovered online recipe flashcards for Otto's High Dive in Orlando, and I was drawn in by the Rockefeller for their Christmas 2024 menu. I was able to find both a menu photo and a drink photo via Instagram geotags to confirm the ingredients and the presentation. I was curious to try this one for its Braulio-Benedictine combination was one I utilized in the Mexico City Blues after mashing up two drinks. In the glass, the Rockefeller gave forth cinnamon, pungent smoke, caramel, and pine aromas. Next, a caramel-driven sip flowed into rum, herbal, pine, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
