Autumn is coming

A new season has started, October is just around the corner. Most cocktailbars are preparing for their new menu. Dark evenings call for dark spirits, slightly stronger ‘slow sipping’ cocktails and typical autumn ingredients such as apple, pear, nuts, cinnamon, … 

Let’s do that too 😉

I’m using Spytail Ginger Rum as the base for this drink. Don’t let the ‘ginger’ scare you because it’s certainly not overwhelming. It’s a subtle flavour in a tasty rum. Spytail is a French rum brand, known for having their rum aged on cognac barrels. We tested their ‘normal’ rum a while back, this time we’re playing with the ginger infused rum. 

Autumn is coming

Ingredients
40 ml Spytail Ginger Rum
20 ml Ron Colon Salvadoreno high proof rum
10 ml Vanilla syrup
20 ml Cloudy apple juice
Cinnamon and nutmeg

Method
Put the rum, syrup and juice in a shaker with lots of ice. Shake for 20 seconds. Strain in a tumbler with a nice block of ice. Grate some cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Garnish with a large cinnamon stick.
