The Eight Watchmen

Not sure if spirit forward actually covers it, this week we have the scarily potent.

1 ⅔ oz Dark Rum

⅔ oz Cinzano Bianco Vermouth

½ oz Cynar

1 dash Angostura Bitters

2 dashes Grapefruit Bitters

Stir everything over ice and strain into a nick & Nora glass.

The bitterness from the Cynar is the first thing you notice and and does take a couple of sips for you tastebuds to acclimatise to the sudden bitter taste but it does mellows out (ish).

Now this certainly isn’t going to be for everyone it’s a very niche brown drink and if you like drinks that make you cry then this may well be for you. But if you prefer something more balanced I’d move on to something else and you’ll be happier for it.

Whatever is taking your fancy this weekend, whether it’s the 8 watchman or a cup of tea let’s us know what your up to!
