Common Cold

2 oz Jamaican rum (nice and funky)
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 t Honey
1 ds Bitters, Angostura (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up in stemmed water glass, garnish on top.

Notes

This seems like a good cure for the common cold. Basically a rum forward floral daiquiri. Might work with a more subtle rum as well.

Comments

Really needs to be made with honey syrup instead of straight honey.

I spent quite a bit of time stirring the honey in to get it to dissolve. Not nearly enough citrus to make the "daiquiri" label in the description really work. Nice drink though!
