Sandy Bottoms

An immensely refreshing summer punch from Chicago’s excellent Billy Sunday that is perfect for scaling up to serve at summer outdoor parties/barbecues 🍉 The tropical fruit and molasses notes in the rum are a great foil for the cool, refreshing watermelon and the tart lime while the hefty dose of Peychaud’s Bitters lend subtle complementary hints of anise and bitterness 1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum (Plantation 3 Star, El Dorado 3 yr, etc) .5 oz Blended Lightly Aged Jamaican Rum (Probitas, Wray & Nephew, etc) .5 oz (!) Peychaud’s Bitters (Bitter Truth Creole Bitters would also work; note, this is a TON of bitters) 2 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice (if you don’t have access to a juicer, can pulverize watermelon chunks in blender and strain the juice) .75 oz Fresh Lime Juice .75 oz Simple Syrup (1:1) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a small slice of watermelon
