Morale & Welfare

A punchy riff on the classic Jet Pilot from Ryan Lotz of Boston’s Shore Leave with plenty of citrus and baking spice notes 🍹🏝
The blend of rums lend notes of caramelized sugar, molasses, and a touch of coffee that work in harmony with the baking spice notes in the cinnamon syrup and the spice notes in the chocolate mole bitters to provide a nice counterpoint to the bright, tart citrus from the lime and grapefruit juice
1 oz Overproof Dark Rum (Plantation OFTD makes a nice bottle)
.5 oz Aged Column Still Rum (Don Q Anejo has nice brown sugar notes)
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
.5 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
.75 oz Cinnamon Bark Syrup (crush 3-5 cinnamon sticks and toast until fragrant; add 1/2 C each granulated sugar and water; stir until sugar has dissolved under medium-low heat; simmer 5 minutes before straining)
2 dashes Chocolate Mole Bitters (Bittermens, Scrappy’s, Miracle Mile)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish
