Wasn't quite planned as I had mixed the orange and lemon juice in the wrong quantitiy for the original cocktail, but a pleasant mistake indeed. The lemon juice cutting the rum is the dominant taste note. The rum give its usual earthy caramel warmth, taken a bit deeper by the angostura bitters. Then the orange comes through to balance everything out.
A perfect drink for a balmy summer night.
Recipe
Add 1 & 1/2 measures of rum to a shaker with 3/4 measure of orange juice and 3/4 measure of lemon juice. Add 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters and a teaspoon of caster sugar or a splash of sugar syrup. Shake well on ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Decorate with cherry.
