The Tomaso

September, 2017

Serves 1

Made with coconut water, aged rum, and bitters, the Tomaso is a nod to Miami’s tropical surroundings, and is sure to warm you up this winter, no matter where you are.

1 ½ ounces Bacardi 8 rum
2 ½ ounces fresh coconut water, or a store brand that is low in sugar like Niau
½ ounce simple syrup
½ teaspoon sea water, optional*
Angostura bitters, for garnish
Orange peel, for garnish
Amarena cherry, for garnish*

Pour the rum, coconut water, simple syrup, and sea water into a double old-fashioned glass filled with ice. For garnish, use a spray bottle to spray 2 mists of the Angostura bitters on top of the drink. Place the orange peel and Amarena cherry on a toothpick and add to drink. 

*Notes: Bottled sea water is available in some parts of the country. It can be replaced with a salt water made with sea salt, or omitted. Amarena cherries are small, bitter Italian cherries and are available online.
