Pairs With: Rum
Flavor Profile: Toasted Pecan + Date + Citrus
For our Winter Solstice Collection, we wanted to create a rich, spirit forward yet warm drink, and knew the hot buttered rum classic template would be a good place to start.
Our culinary and mixology world's collided when we found inspiration in the pecan date pie, a flavor combination we knew would give us the satisfying richness to the drink we were starting to formulate in our minds.
With the drink now firmly mapped out in theory, we began creating - infusing toasted pecans and soft, sweet dates into our base. A hint of citrus cuts through the richness as a nod to the technique often used by chefs and pastry chefs to brighten up a dish.
This drink is spirit-forward, rich, buttery, warm and inviting.
Your true cocktail awaits.
