Brave Margot

3⁄4 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Falernum, Velvet Falernum
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Pineapple syrup
1 ds Absinthe
6 dr Fernet Branca (As Garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a Collins glass, and fill with crushed ice. Garnish with a spritz of Fernet Branca (6 drops), a lime wheel (omit), edible flowers, and a cherry (omit).

Notes

I made this with Pineapple Gum Syrup and I used Peychauds Bitters rather than Absinthe as I personally find Absinthe too heavy handed to use as a minor ingredient.

A delightful low ABV summer concoction! I didn't find the absinthe overpowering and in fact added a bit more.
