Rum Bronx Cocktail (or The Third Rail)

This is a cocktail that is a rum variant of the classic whiskey cocktail, Bronx. There is a cocktail for each of the five boroughs of New York City, most notably the Manhattan is the king of them all. The original Bronx uses gin as the base.

Here is a great drink to enjoy before dinner:

2oz (60mL) medium bodied rum/gold rum (Appleton Estate Special Reserve, Brugal Añejo, Chairman’s Reserve)

0.5oz (15mL) orange juice

0.25oz (7.5mL) sweet vermouth

0.25oz (7.5mL) dry vermouth

orange peel, for garnish

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass (coupe). Express orange peel over the drink and drop it in.
