Combine in a tall (12- to 16-oz) glass:

  • 1 ½ oz aged, light-bodied rum (such as Cruzan Single Barrel or Flor de Caña 7-year-old)
  • 1 oz Linie Aquavit
  • ½ oz Grand Marnier
  • ½ oz rich simple syrup (made by stirring 1 cup demerara or other raw sugar and ½ cup water over low heat until sugar has dissolved, letting it cool, and bottling it)
  • 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 3 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Fill with shaved ice, stir until the glass frosts, add more ice, garnish with a sprig of mint.

Mix one up and test it out!  If you stumble upon any tweaks that make it even better, please share in the comments!
