1914

The cocktail is inspired by World War 1. During the time, British soldiers were given rum ration which is basically a shot or 30ml of rum. I decided to use that as a base and use available spirit during the time which is DOM Benedictine as well as Martini Rosso with Elderflower syrup.

Ingredients

• 30ml Aged or Spiced Rum Rum ( Flor De Cana 18)
• 10ml DOM Benedictine
• 10ml Martini Rosso (Sweet Vermouth)
• 5ml Elderflower syrup
• Orange rind

Steps

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a Boston shaker with 2 blocks of ice.
2. Pour it over a small cocktail glass.
3. Cut a strip of orange rind.
4. Squeeze to release the orange oil.
5. Drop the rind into the cocktail glass.
