the law firm

1 1/2 oz Diplomatico Exclusiva Rum
3/4 oz Quintinya Sweet Vermouth (Giacomo Speroni)
3/4 oz Amaro Lucano
1/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1 dash Tiki Bitters (2 dash Bittercube Trinity)

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube. Two Sundays ago, I looked up the folks offering mentoring sessions alongside me at Portland Cocktail Week, and some of them were apart of a Columbus, Ohio, bartender-built company called Historic Revelry. On the company's website was a recipe section where I landed on the Law Firm. Its rum, sweet vermouth, and amaro structure reminded me of drinks like the Palm Viper, Laughing Boy, and Bridgetown Stomp; therefore, I gave it a whirl. Once stirred and strained, the Law Firm summoned caramel aromas with a hint of rum funk. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip defended the rum, herbal, molasses, citrus peel, and dried fruit flavors on the swallow.
