hank scorpio

1 1/2 oz Zacapa Rum (Coruba)
3/4 oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup
1/2 oz Vanilla Syrup
1 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice, strain (into a Tiki mug), fill with crushed ice, and garnish with a pineapple leaf (pineapple swizzle stick). Two Fridays ago, I searched the Kindred Cocktails database and spotted the Hank Scorpio created by New York city bartender Rafa Garcia Febles in 2014. Given the curious name, my search uncovered that Rafa named the drink after a character who made a one time appearance in season 8 of The Simpsons. Once prepared, the Hank Scorpio donated a caramel, pineapple, vanilla, and ginger bouquet to the nose. Next, lime, caramel, and pineapple notes on the sip retreated towards dark rum, vanilla, ginger, and clementine flavors on the swallow.
