Oh yeah

Oh yeah

One of our favorite rums is from Selvarey.  If you follow us on Instagram, that should be obvious. While delicious on its own to sip, we couldn’t help but try it with blood oranges which were in season.  This is a blossom mixed drink.

Bonita Sangre Flor

  • Prep a half of a blood orange wheel and notch cut for the rim of a glass
  • In a metal tumbler, add:
    • 1 1/2 oz of Selvarey rum
    • 1/2 oz white chocolate liquor (preferably Marie Brizard or French)
    • 1 tsp  bakers sugar
    • 1 oz of fresh blood orange juice
  • Shake with ice for at least 20 seconds and the tumbler is frosty
  • Pour and strain with a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer into the glass
  • Garnish with blood orange wheel.
