Caveat Emptor

About this Cocktail

My riff on Maks Pazuniak's Warning Label from the 2011 Beta Cocktails book.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Plantation OFTD Rum
• 1 oz Lustau East India Solera Sherry (*)
• 1/2 oz Benedictine
• 1/2 oz Cynar
• 1 dash Mole Bitters
• Campari for a glass rinse
• Grapefruit twist for a garnish

Preparation:

Stir with ice, strain into a Campari-rinsed cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
(*) An Amontillado or Oloroso will work here in a pinch but will come across as a little drier and lacking light raisiny notes. Lustau's cream sherry is a mix of Oloroso with a little Pedro Ximenez.
