makes ONE COCKTAIL

This classic cocktail, adapted from the 1946 edition of the Stork Club Bar Book, is a twist on the daiquiri made with gold or dark rum and honey. We like to use a full-flavored rum made from molasses for a dark, sweet, assertive flavor.

Ingredients

¹⁄₄ oz. honey
2 oz. gold or dark rum
¹⁄₂ oz. fresh lime juice
Lime zest, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1

Combine honey and 1 tsp. hot water in a cocktail shaker. Add rum, lime juice, and ice; shake vigorously and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with lime zest.
