Description
The PX Express cocktail features our PX Rum—a rum finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, resulting in toffee, caramel and raisin notes. But those aren’t the only flavors you’ll find in this cocktail, which includes a lemon balm syrup and blueberry cardamom bitters.

Notes
*To make a lemon balm syrup:
- Start by making a regular simple syrup, heating to dissolve one part sugar in one part water in a pan.
- As the simple syrup cools, stir in fresh lemon balm leaves.
- Once the syrup is completely cool, strain out the lemon balm leaves. Kept refrigerated, the syrup should be good for one week.
