Instructions

The Crimson Sails is a nautical-themed cocktail that combines the bitter allure of Campari with the warm embrace of aged rum, balanced by the fresh zing of citrus and the sweetness of simple syrup. It's a stirred cocktail, elegantly layered with complex flavors, yet easy to prepare with ingredients found in most well-stocked home bars. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Rum (a dark, rich rum for depth) - 1 oz Campari (for a bitter, herbal complexity) - 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice (for a tart, citrus edge) - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (to balance the bitter and sour components) - 1 dash Orange Bitters (for an additional citrusy, botanical note) - Orange twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the aged rum, Campari, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a dash of orange bitters. 2. Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir the ingredients together until well-chilled; about 30 seconds should do it. 3. Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass over a large ice cube. This not only adds to the visual appeal but also ensures slow dilution, maintaining the cocktail's balance as you sip. 4. Express the oils of an orange twist over the glass and drop it in as a garnish. The deep red hue of Campari paired with the rich tones of rum give this cocktail an enticing visual appeal, while the flavor profile promises a journey for the palate. With the sturdy foundation of a classic cocktail, the Crimson Sails is an approachable yet sophisticated concoction that's perfect for a refined evening at the helm of your home bar. Enjoy the voyage!
