Jamaican Funk Part 2 - With Zack Mitchell, Johnny Latu, and Kendalle Getty

This week, we finish up our discussion of all things Jamaican Rum! Still accompanied by Zack Mitchell, Johnny Latu, and Kendalle Getty, we talk James Bond, the charm of Jamaican distilleries, and Carribean solidarity!

Cocktail Discussed:

For Your Eyes Only:

2 oz. fresh pineapple juice

2 oz. Doctor Bird Moscatel Cask Finished Jamaican Rum

1 oz. Xoriguer Gin de Mahón

1/2 oz. Tempus Fugit Kina L'Aero d'Or

1/2 oz. Hibiscus simple syrup

Pour 1/4 oz. hibiscus syrup into the bottom of a chilled coupe or martini glass. Combine the remaining 1/4 oz. hibiscus syrup and with rest of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled - around 15 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass, pouring over the back of a spoon as to not disturb the syrup at the bottom of the glass. Garnish with a lemon twist, and serve.
