Brother's Delight

The Brother's Delight cocktail is a delightful twist on the classic Old Fashioned and Toronto cocktails, featuring the rich flavors of aged rum instead of the usual whiskey. This sophisticated libation combines the deep notes of Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 rum with the subtle bitterness of Fernet-Branca and the sweetness of demerara sugar syrup, complemented by aromatic and chocolate bitters. The finishing touch of an orange peel garnish adds a tantalizing citrus aroma to this masterfully crafted drink.
