Bella Donna

1 oz Dark rum, Gosling's Black Seal
1 oz Amaretto
1⁄2 T Lemon
1⁄2 T Lime
1 T Simple syrup
1 pn Cinnamon (rim glass)
Instructions

I would make this with 1/4 oz Lemon and 1/4 oz Lime with no added sugar. I might cut back on the Amaretto too, or add more sour. It is supposed to be quite sweet.

  • Tasty and approachable. Made with no simple. Quite sweet and just a bit sour. Wouldn't add to the rotation but not a bad use for amaretto.

Comments

Made per Dan's suggestion with no simple. Could add still more sour. As is the amaretto dominates and lime settles in at the end with just a touch of real sourness. Not a bad use for an ancient bottle of amaretto.
