The Old Fashioned is the most forgiving template in cocktail history — and one of the most revealing. Our Sailors Rum - Spiced brings vanilla, cinnamon, and clove to a format that lets every note breathe.

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Add demerara syrup and both bitters to a mixing glass.

  2. 2

    Add Sailors Rum - Spiced and fill with ice.

  3. 3

    Stir for 30 seconds — you want dilution and chill, not aeration.

  4. 4

    Strain over a single large ice cube in a rocks glass.

  5. 5

    Express an orange peel over the glass, run it around the rim, and drop it in.

Bartender's Tip

Demerara syrup adds a molasses depth that pairs perfectly with spiced rum. Worth making a batch — it keeps for two weeks in the fridge.
