For all of you Sazerac fans, this riff substitutes the traditional Rye with Vanilla Rum, for a sipper definitely worth crafting from home. To make this, you`ll need:
👉 2 oz. of Vanilla Rum
👉 1/2 oz. of simple syrup (we recommend Demerara syrup)
👉 4-6 dashes of Creole Bitters
👉 a spritz of Absinthe
Spritz a rocks glass with Absinthe (or add a few drops of Absinthe to the glass and swirl it around so the glass is coated). In a mixing glass with ice, add the rum, simple syrup, and Creole Bitters. Stir until well chilled, then strain into the rocks glass and garnish with a twist of lemon. Cheers!

We’re mad for this Mad Pineapple cocktail, combining 2 oz. of our First Run Rum with 2 teaspoons of Roasted Pineapple Syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters. Just stir the ingredients together with ice, strain into your glass, and garnish with a pineapple slice.
Want to make your own Roasted Pineapple Syrup? It’s easy! Slice 1 pineapple into 1” chunks. Spread them on a baking pan and roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until deep yellow and brown spots start to appear. Then transfer the pineapple to a pot and add 2.5 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring everything to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup, and keep it refrigerated for up to a week. Cheers!
