Yo Ho Ho, rum cocktail

No, we’re not talking Santa Claus. These are the opening words of the pirates’ chant which ends “and a bottle of rum.” In this case it’s light rum with a drop of Licor 43, a Spanish liquor front-loaded with citrus and vanilla. Now go hoist the Jolly Roger.

Juice of 1/2 valencia orange

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with several ice cubes. Shake vigorously. Strain over ice into an Old-Fashioned glass. Garnish with a long orange peel.
