Revenant Cocktail Recipe Blackstrap Rum

In stirred drinks, Pamplemousse can add body and texture without pumping up a drink’s ABV. Here, the grapefruit liqueur stands up to three hard-hitting ingredients: blackstrap rum, overproof brandy and amaro. An amalgamation of many of Shae Minnillo’s obsessions over the years, the stirred combination of fruity and bitter makes for an unexpectedly balanced drink.
