Barback’s Revenge

This cocktail is an absolute favorite of mine, showing what happens when excellent cocktail ingredients get a creative spin. Rich Demerara rum and herbal Bénédictine are beautifully balanced by dry Amontillado and cold brew. A sophisticated, clever, and seriously delicious sipper for any home bar.
