Bundt Cake Buddha

2 oz Jamaican rum (I used Blackwell)
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Dubonnet Rouge
3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Combier L'Original Liqueur D'Orange
1 sli Orange (garnish)
1 twst Orange peel (squeeze for oils, discard)
Instructions

Stir, strain into chilled cocktail glass, squeeze oils, garnish with orange slice.

Notes

Bring out more orange with optional dash of orange bitters

History

Looking for something else to do with Dubonnet Rouge before it turns. The original recipe was too sweet, as usual, so I added some Cynar to tame it and the result was oddly chocolatey-orange, like the classic chocolate-orange bundt cake my mom used to make, so I went with that.

Comments

Used cheapo golden spiced rum and Mattei Cap Corse Rouge instead of Dubonnet - nice spicy orange flavor, great drink.
