I’ve been entranced by the guitar stylings of Kenny Burrell at least as far back as the first time I heard his masterpiece Midnight Blue. So I offer up this libation in his honor. It spotlights (albeit subtly) Plantation’s newest rum.

KENNY BURRELL COCKTAIL

2 oz. Hamilton Guyana Rum
.5 oz. Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof Rum
2 teaspoons honey syrup
5 drops ‘Elemakule Tiki Bitters

Add ingredients to a small tumbler. Add a jumbo cube of ice and stir for five seconds. Garnish with an orange peel, press play on “Chitlins Con Carne,” and serve.

(Thanks Anthony for the bitters!)
