Cocktail Description
The Palmetto Cocktail transforms a classic tropical favorite into an elegant, Manhattan-inspired sipper that showcases aged Jamaican rum's complex character.
This sophisticated cocktail balances Appleton Estate's rich molasses, oak, and spice notes with Martini & Rossi Rosso's herbal sweetness, while orange bitters add a bright citrus accent. It delivers a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel with flavors of caramelized fruits, warm baking spices, and subtle orange zest from both the bitters and garnish. Perfect for evenings when you want something spirituous yet approachable, it makes an excellent pre-dinner drink or nightcap. The Palmetto Cocktail is remarkably simple to make despite its complex flavor profile—just three ingredients stirred with ice and strained. It pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, grilled pork, or aged cheeses, as the cocktail's sweetness and depth complement rich, savory foods while its subtle bitterness helps cleanse the palate between bites.
