Maluma

Team Lyan | London

This stirred cocktail, created by Team Lyan, combines rye whiskey with a housemade raspberry “syrup,” which gets some of its sweetness from the unexpected addition of licorice root. Built in a rocks glass over ice, the drink is finished with dashes of both chocolate bitters and vanilla extract.
