An infamous spy, explorer, royal courtier, and drinker, Sir Walter Raleigh is a great name for a cocktail. It's actually the name of my home bar. And this drink is an especially ostentatious one. It has a full 4 oz. of 40 proof spirits. Dark rum doesn't even dampen the brilliant red from 1/2 oz. of grenadine, and then there's lemon and curacao that makes it bitter and fruity. I noticed the pomegranate flavor from the grenadine most, which felt appropriate for a drink named after an explorer of the new world.
- 2 oz. dark rum
- 1 1/2 oz. brandy (Courvoisier VS used)
- 1/2 oz. white curacao
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1/2 oz. grenadine
- lemon twist
Combine all ingredients except lemon twist in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
