Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, Latitude 29 | New Orleans

Artichoke Hold Cocktail Recipe

Following a typical tiki construction, Jeff “Beachbum” Berry relies on a split rum base—part Jamaican rum, part demerara rum—and fresh citrus juices (lime and grapefruit) alongside a quarter of an ounce of allspice dram, which brings a richness and depth of flavor to this tiki rum sour.
