Time spent in Barbados inspired Orlando Franklin McCray’s take on a rum and tonic with the added splash of grapefruit liqueur. The name of the drink comes from its base ingredient of Probitas rum, which is made from a blend of Coffey still rums, from Barbados, and pot still rums, from Jamaica. “Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic features angostura bark on the nose, but not so much on the palate, and avoids the astringency which may be apparent when adding traditional aromatic bitters to tonic water,” says McCray. A final tip from McCray: “Additionally, y’all should put a straw in this so as not to get the shaved lime up your nose.”
