Puerto Rican Haze
If you ever find yourself in a spot where the world feels set against you, close your eyes, and imagine you are sitting on a white sand beach. Then open your eyes, and proceed to make yourself a strong, white rum-based Puerto Rican Haze… This following recipe is for 1 cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Puerto Rican White Rum of choice
- 1 oz brandy
- ½ oz gin
- 2 oz freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz freshly-squeezed orange juice
- ½ oz Orgeat
- ¼ oz simple syrup
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- Lime wedge, as garnish
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients (minus the lime wedge garnish) in a large shaker tin with ice.
- Shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
- Strain the contents into a chilled rocks glass, with three or four small cubes of ice.
- Garnish with a small wedge of fresh lime.
Notes
I prefer this cocktail to be on the drier side, although if you are looking for something sweeter and less aggressive, you can always substitute the white rum for something like a spiced coconut rum and increase the quantity of simple syrup.
