GUARDIAN ANGEL

  • 1¼ oz. / 37.5 ml. Amaro Montenegro

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. white overproof Jamaican rum

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lime juice

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. orgeat

  • 3 drops rose water

  • 2–3 cucumber slices, muddled

METHOD
add cucumber to shaker tin and lightly muddle / add remaining ingredients to tin / shake with ice until chilled / fine strain into coupe or Nick and Nora / garnish with cucumber slice

ABOUT
This drink is by Erick Castro, who created it for an Amaro Montenegro event. The lime, orgeat, and rose water are reminiscent of an Infante. Amaro Montenegro as the base makes this fun and extra herbal. The rum is present but doesn’t overpower the amaro. Cheers y’all!
