History

As the name suggests, this spirit-forward cocktail tastes like a penny chew.

This recipe is adapted from a 2015 creation by Aisha Sharpe in New York City, USA. An alternative version of this cocktail, also adapted from Aisha Sharpe's recipe, uses 60ml aged rum, 12.5ml maple syrup, and 6 drops of chocolate bitters. For readers outside the USA, a Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-flavored caramel candy that has been produced in Chicago, Illinois since 1907. It was the first American "penny candy" to be individually wrapped.
