Says Gonzalez, “Maple and cherry are a classic pairing for desserts, which often inspire my cocktails…If you missed the Kraken or Peychaud’s, it wouldn’t be bad, but they definitely elevate the drink.”
Ingredients
• 1½ oz Scarlet Ibis rum
• ½ oz Kraken spiced rum
• ¾ oz lemon juice
• ½ oz grade A dark maple syrup
• ¼ oz Luxardo cherry juice
• 1 dash Peychaud’s Bitters
• 1 egg white
Method
Add all ingredients (no ice) to a cocktail shaker, and shake to combine. Add ice, and shake again. Strain into an up glass. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry.
