THE Rory Snyder introduced us to the guys from 9 North Rum. And we quickly developed a a nice relationship with a brand that produces a very nice variety of rums. We don’t make drinks with rum we don’t actually like. This drink is made with the 9 North Especiado. It’s a “spiced” rum that we feel is more like an infusion…but we can argue spiced vs. infusion over more drinks later.

Anywho, this spiced rum by 9 North is dark, with notes of lemon grass, ginger, a little floral and some very well balanced baking spices. Perfectly pairs with black tea and fresh citrus.

We served 240 of these at tiki Caliente 15. Check out the party pics below.

1.5oz 9 North Especiado

1.5oz Fresh Orange Juice

1.5oz Brewed Black Tea

.25oz Orgeat

.25oz Simple Syrup

Squeeze of fresh Lime

Lightly shake everything with ice. Strain into a glass or tiki mug filled with crushed ice. Garnish with Mint and Orange Wheel. *If you like a little more tartness, add more lime.

The combination of Lychee, Maraschino and Passion liquors in this particular drink have become one of our house mixes that we use in multiple other concoctions including a Hemingway Daiquiri. Because every lemon and grapefruit is a little different, the key to this drink is following the recipe and then not hesitating to add more citrus if you feel its too sweet. After two of these you will find out what it feels like to have a leg you can’t control.
