A Sweet and Slightly Smoky Rum Cocktail!
Amaro Montenegro, an Italian digestif, brings strong flavors of orange to this pleasantly bitter cocktail. The drink starts out warm, with light, molasses-y sweetness coming through the first sip, but packs a pleasantly bitter bite. It’s a touch smoky and delightfully strong.
