Cocktail Description
When Jamaican rum meets cold brew coffee and fresh orange juice, magic happens in the Rum Sunset Espresso.
This sophisticated cocktail balances the rich vanilla and banana notes of aged Jamaican rum with the bold intensity of coffee liqueur, while vodka provides structure and orange juice adds a surprising brightness. The interplay between the citrus and coffee creates an unexpected harmony—think chocolate-covered orange slices in liquid form. Perfect for that transition from dinner to dessert, it works equally well as a brunch cocktail for those who find mimosas too predictable. Fortunately, it's straightforward to prepare at home, requiring just a good shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass. The discarded orange twist releases essential oils across the surface while the coffee bean garnish enhances the aromatic experience. Pair this versatile sipper with dark chocolate desserts, tiramisu, or even spice-forward dishes like jerk chicken to complement both the coffee's depth and the rum's tropical character.
