Bartender’s note: Depending on the natural sweetness of the squash, you may want to adjust the amount of lemon juice or bitters to your liking.
*Rhum Agricole is the French term for cane juice rum, a style of rum originally distilled in the French West Indies islands from freshly squeezed sugar cane juice rather than molasses.
