cannibal cove

1 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Pineapple Rum (Planteray Stiggins')
3/4 oz Amaro Sfumato
1/4 oz Cinnamon Syrup
2 dash Mole Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Two Fridays ago, I was motivated to create a recipe instead of taking the time to find one to make. Therefore, I mashed up two drink halves: the mezcal-pineapple rum that worked well in my Devil's Kitchen and Illegal Dance Moves with the Sfumato-cinnamon of my Hell Haggerty and Idlewild's Armstrong. For a name, I dubbed this one the Cannibal Cove after a section of the Tarawa coast that I learned about in the The Sex Lives of Cannibals book. In the glass, the Cannibal Cove offered up a grapefruit, herbal, and smoke sacrifice to the nose. Next, a roast-driven sip exalted vegetal, pineapple rum, smoke, cinnamon, and chocolate flavors on the swallow.
