Cocktail: Cartagena Buck

This was one of two cocktails I made up for last New Year's Eve and the better of the two. It's like a dark n' stormy dressed up with the citrus-vanilla flavor of Licor 43.

1.5 oz dark rum

Combine rum, licor 43, lemon juice and bitter in a shaker with ice; shake until cold. Divide between two rocks glasses filled halfway with ice. Top each drink with about 3 oz. ginger beer.

  1. Ginger beer has become my favorite cocktail ingredient. You can never go wrong with it.
