East Harlem

2 oz Añejo rum (Something akin to Havana 7 Year)
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄4 oz Apricot liqueur
1⁄4 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao (Or other orange liqueur)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 Cherry (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a cherry

Notes

Rums like Don Q Añejo, aged Flor de Caña, or Bacardi Ocho/10 would fit the style. I used Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao but other orange liqueurs will work here.

History

Recently, I was discussing the Periodista's history in relation to Boston, and I was inspired that evening to tinker with the concept. I ended up honing in on the apricot liqueur and mashing the 1940s Cuban classic with Julie Reiner's Slope to make a Rum Manhattan riff. For a name, I dubbed it the East Harlem after a major Cuban center in New York City.
