Hamilton Dry Float

A streamlined, flavor-packed riff on the Tiki classic Demerara Dry Float from Jeff Beachbum Berry 🗿
The dark fruit and spice notes of the delicious Hamilton 86 proof Demerara Rum stand up beautifully to the lime and the bit of passionfruit syrup lends a slightly tropical sweet/tart note. The burnt caramel and cinnamon notes in the float of Demerara 151 rum gives a great depth of flavor
1.5 oz Hamilton Demerara Rum (distilled in Guyana as a lightly aged potstill rum; El Dorado 8 yr works as a sub, but is a bit lower proof than the Hamilton)
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice .75 oz Simple Syrup (1:1)
Tsp Passionfruit Syrup (Small Hand Foods)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Float .5 oz of 151 proof rum (Demerara bottle like Lemonhart, El Dorado, or Hamilton are best). No garnish
