Smoky Caribbean Elixir

#### Description: A complex and innovative riff on a classic stirred cocktail, the Smoky Caribbean Elixir melds the rich, tropical depth of Plantation 5-Year Rum with the smoky spice of Ancho Reyes and the herbal sweetness of Xtabentun. Accentuated by Allspice Dram and the exotic heat of Smoked Chili Bitters, this drink is layered, nuanced, and perfect for savoring. The addition of Demerara Syrup rounds out the flavors, providing a mild caramel undertone. Best enjoyed in a chilled Old-Fashioned glass, this cocktail looks just as sophisticated as it tastes. #### Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Plantation 5-Year Rum - 0.25 oz Allspice Dram - 0.25 oz Ancho Reyes - 0.25 oz Xtabentun - 0.5 oz Demerara Syrup - 2 dashes Smoked Chili Bitters #### Instructions: 1.
