Notes

The rum should be an aged amber, like Cruzan Estate Dark, Appleton Estates V/X, Brugal Anejo, Lemon Hart 80, or Pyrat XO. To make the five spice syrup, combine 1 rounded teaspoon of five spice powder with 2c of sugar and 1c of water. Heat on low until the sugar is dissolved. Squeeze through a cheesecloth into a bottle.

  • Made with Appleton V/X, regular simple, and a few healthy dashes of 5-spice bitters. The rum gets a bit buried. — ★★★★

Comments

Curated this slightly - to avoid line breakage, I moved the rum suggestions to the notes section and appended the syrup recipe.
