3 B's

2 oz Gold rum (Arcane Extraroma)
1⁄3 oz Overproof bourbon (Stagg JR 129 proof)
1⁄4 oz Amaro Montenegro
1⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Pacharan
Instructions

Stir, strain, coupe

Notes

Arcane is an amber rum from mauritius island with strong banana peel and vanilla aroma without being in the spiced rum category.

Instead of pacharan: 1/4 sloe gin + 2 dash absinthe

History

Bought a bottle of Arcane rum a few weeks ago.
Was time to mix it!

Bonds of Earth

1 oz Reposado Tequila, Alma
1 oz Mezcal, Sombra
1⁄2 oz Tamarind syrup
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz Amaro, CH Distillery
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. I typically don't garnish, but you could do either a lemon or blood orange wheel, either fresh or dehydrated.

Notes

For the tamarind syrup, I defrost a 14 oz pouch of Goya tamarind fruit pulp (available at many Mexican grocery stores in the freezer section), and blend it with equal parts cane sugar.

Shawn C commented on 7/23/2023:

I quite like this one: richness balanced with ancho heat, tamarind and lemon tang/sour. The earthy agave notes blend harmoniously with the rest. All of the flavors come through and work well together. Note: I used Averna; I don't have CH Amaro, but guessed that Averna would be a good substitute based on some descriptions.

  • Flabby. 2 dashes of chocolate bitters as suggested by another comment helps a lot. Neither garnish contributed enough to lift the drink into worthwhile territory. Vodka isn't a foundation to build a drink on, even when given strong supporting cast. — ★★
  • Sub Lillet.
  • This is delicious! Nice work. Rosemary adds a nice touch. Vodka rarely ends up in my cocktails, but this is a keeper! I also tried with 2 dashes of chocolate bitters which is nice too.
