History
The overproof rum is cut by a third from the original to allow other ingredients space in this delicious Martini-like, dry and spirituous aperitivo.
J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails created this recipe in 2021. It draws inspiration from the Dot cocktail found in the 1937 edition of The Café Royal Cocktail Book. Mr Clapham stated, "This one came about as a fortuitous misreading: I read Curaçao as Cachaça, and then subbed overproof rum. The original is a far more straightforward affair, though more than pleasant." The original recipe consists of 30 ml dry gin, 30 ml fino sherry, 15 ml Wray & Nephew overproof white rum, and 15 ml apricot liqueur.
