Beach Fossils

2 oz Light rum, Flor de Caña Extra Dry
1 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Vanilla syrup
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, float a lemon wheel.

Notes

Beachbum Berry, explaining his drink the Beachnik: "[W]e got the idea for the Beachnik while looking at the label of an energy bar flavored with lemon and honey, and coated with vanilla yoghurt. Lemon, honey, vanilla—sounds like a tropical drink to us! After a few failed attempts to turn it into a shaken cocktail, it ended up as a blender drink in 2004." I think the Bum may have erred in using honey and vanilla liqueurs instead of syrups; with the latter, as a sour it's a straightforward delight.

Tried 1 part cognac to 3/4 part Benedictine. Still too sweet (and I like a bit of sweetness). Added a bar spoon of Fernet Branca to make it more balanced.
