Cocktail Base

Bitters & Rinse

Method

Prepare Glass

1

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling with ice water while you assemble the cocktail.

2

Discard the ice water and add 0.25 tsp absinthe into the chilled glass. Swirl to coat the inside thoroughly, then discard any excess so only a thin aromatic rinse remains.

Mix Cocktail

3

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Bacardi 8, 0.5 oz white rum, 0.5 oz peach liqueur, 0.75 oz fassionola (or passion fruit syrup), 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

4

Add ice

Fill the shaker with cracked or cubed ice (about 1 cup or enough to nearly fill the shaker).

5

Shake

Cap and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside. The goal is to chill and slightly dilute to balance the syrups and spirits.

Strain & Garnish

6

Double-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer into the absinthe-rinsed chilled coupe or Nick & Nora to remove ice shards and any pulp.

7

Garnish with a lime wheel or a lime twist laid on the rim. Optionally slap a mint sprig between your palms and place it on the drink for an added aromatic top note.

8

Serve immediately. Sip to enjoy the layered interplay of aged rum, bright white rum, peach sweetness, passion fruit notes from fassionola, a whisper of absinthe anise from the rinse, and the spice of Angostura bitters.
