The past three days included the final Hamilton show with the original cast, my birthday, and the 212th anniversary of the Hamilton/Burr duel. This confluence of events called for a new cocktail.

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Great recipe! Grapefruit twist is ideal but I made one with lemon too and that worked.
I make another drink that has an identical build but uses Cointreau (in place of Elderflower) and absinthe (in place of celery bitters) with an orange twist. I've heard it called a Foghorn, but there's a better known drink by that name as well. Reccomend checking that out if you like this!

Quality spirits really shine through in this drink. Choose a good clean white rum and a dark rum with plenty of flavor and enjoy.

Quite the oddball, in a good way! Celery juice works well with jalapeno, maybe a bit heavy on the lime. Also I did a 1:1 reposado to Ancho Reyes Verde rather than infuse.
