Cocktail Description
The Fort Lauderdale delivers a vibrant burst of citrus that dances perfectly with the subtle complexity of quality rum and vermouth.
This elegant cocktail combines the bright, clean character of Plantation 3 Stars white rum with the herbal sweetness of Martini & Rossi Rosso, creating a sophisticated base that's perfectly balanced by fresh orange and lime juices. Each sip offers an initial kiss of citrus followed by deeper notes of botanical spice and subtle rum warmth. The Fort Lauderdale makes a perfect aperitif for summer dinner parties or weekend brunches, though it's equally at home as a refined nightcap. Fortunately, it's surprisingly simple to prepare—just shake, strain, and garnish with an orange twist that releases aromatic oils across the surface. This versatile cocktail pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or ceviche, though it also complements spicy tapas or even a simple cheese board featuring creamy, mild selections.
