blood sacrifice

1 oz Dark Overproof Rum (Planteray OFTD)
1 oz Campari
1 oz Amaro Nardini
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Passion Fruit Syrup

Whip shake with crushed ice, pour into a mug, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with a mint bouquet, orange slice (omit), parasol, and cinnamon (freshly grated).
With my new purchase of the Bartender's Choice Volume 3 app, I sought out something with mint served in a ceramic mug. The recipe that called out to me was the Blood Sacrifice by David Ebert at Manhattan's Attaboy in 2025 as a riff on his tropical Fix, the Blood Moon, which lacks the rum. Nardini and Campari have paired well together in a number of drinks including the Klaus Kinski and the Host Body, so it seemed like an intriguing duo to star in a tropical number. Here, the Blood Sacrifice generated a cinnamon and mint aroma. Next, lime, caramel, and tropical notes on the sip blessed funky rum, bitter orange, and herbal flavors on the swallow with a passion fruit finish.
