Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail
A perfect blend of sweet and tart, and just tropical enough to get you in a summery mood.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz dark rum
- 0.5 oz sweet vermouth red
- 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz grenadine syrup
- 3 dashes angostura bitter
- optional lime for garnish
Instructions
- In a shaker add rum, vermouth, grenadine, lime juice, bitters, ice. Shake a couple of times.
- Strain (or double strain) into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.
- Garnish with lime zest, or leave as-is.
Notes
- Shaking vermouth, especially with ice, will give you bubbles on the surface. If you want to avoid them, double strain.
- Or, don't shake the vermouth, stir it in last, resulting in a slightly thicker drink. But for this you need very cold vermouth (keep in the fridge).
- This is a fairly small cocktail, just a little over 3 oz. If you want more, your best shot is to just double everything.
