Instructions

In a nod to the complex history and the indomitable spirits of those affected by the slave trade, the Trade Winds Tempest is a cocktail that balances the bitterness of struggle with the sweetness of cultural resilience. This is a drink that's not just about flavors, but about remembering and acknowledging the past. The bitter notes in this cocktail are a tribute to the hardships endured, while the rum serves as a nod to the Triangular Trade routes where rum was a common commodity. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Dark Rum (a tribute to the historical rum trade) - 1/2 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice (for tartness and vibrancy) - 1/4 oz Crème de Cacao (to represent the bittersweetness of history) - 1/2 oz Amaro (an Italian herbal liqueur for a complex bitter edge) - 2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters (a classic touch of bitterness) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (to balance the bitterness) - A pinch of Sea salt (symbolizing the tears and the ocean crossed) - Orange peel (for garnish) - 3 Coffee beans (symbolizing trade and the bitter past) Glass: - Old-Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. Fill the Old-Fashioned glass with a large ice cube to chill the glass while preparing the cocktail. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the aged dark rum, lemon juice, Crème de Cacao, Amaro, Angostura bitters, simple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the ingredients together until well-chilled. 4. Discard the ice from the Old-Fashioned glass, and strain the mixture into the glass over a new large ice cube. 5. Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink, rub the peel around the rim of the glass, and then drop it into the cocktail. 6. Gently float three coffee beans on top as a garnish. The Trade Winds Tempest is both a toast to the enduring spirit of cultures that have persisted through hardship and a reflection on the historical context that shaped so much of the world. The garnish of three coffee beans traditionally symbolizes health, wealth, and happiness, and in this context, serves as a hopeful look toward a future that acknowledges and learns from the trials of the past.
