INGREDIENTS

  • 1-3/4 ounces (50 ml) blanc rhum agricole*, 100 proof (Rhum J.M. Blanc preferred)
  • 1 ounce (30 ml) sous vide infused Butternut Squash Cordial
  • 1/2 ounce (15 ml) Campari
  • 1/2 ounce (15 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 dash Fee Brothers’ aromatic bitters
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Ice cubes, as needed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Put all ingredients, except ice, into a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add the ice, shake well, and fine strain into a punch cup or cocktail glass.

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.
