Liar's Tea

1 oz Cuban rum, Havana Club 3 (a very mellow light rum, anyway)
1 oz Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
1⁄2 oz Oleo-saccharum (lemon zest oleo saccharum)
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
2 oz Water (Berlin (Germany) tap water, for reference)
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Grapefruit bitters, Bitter Truth Grapefruit
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain over fresh ice, serve.

Notes

Bizarrely similar taste to iced tea, with some more spice beyond the tip of the tongue. Dangerously quaffable if made as a batch.

In place of oleo saccharum I suppose some combination of syrup and Limoncello might serve.

History

After trying a Mizuwari I felt like having another drink with water in the list of ingredients, so I spontaneously assembled a kind of punch (thinking of the El Presidente while pouring the white vermouth) and was surprised by how much it tasted like iced tea.
