Last Night in Paradise

1⁄2 oz Demerara Rum, El Dorado 8
1⁄4 oz Rhum Agricole, Rhum JM Blanc (50%)
3⁄4 oz Amaro, Heirloom Pineapple Amaro
3⁄4 oz Hibiscus Liqueur
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens 'Elemakule Tiki
Instructions

Shake and double strain into to a Nick & Nora.

Notes

Unlike Last Day in Paradise I would not swap out the Agricole for funkier overproof Jamaican as it kind of overpowers the hibiscus. This one is a bit more subtle and floral than its Day version.

History

I had a notion to make a Last Word template drink around rum and the Heirloom Pineapple Amaro. I tried two variations and liked them both.

History

This is a cocktail personalized for 30th birthday of my dearest, Denis, who his favorite cocktail is Moscow Mule. So I was inspired to create a version which is uniquely his-tailored to his taste, with my own special touch. It is thought of and made with love, and that is the secret ingredient!
