Ingredients

One drink — all oz are US fl oz

• 1½ oz aged rum
• ½ oz overproof rum, about 114 proof
• ¾ oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz agave syrup
• ¼ oz unsweetened seedless tamarind concentrate, not sweetened drink syrup
• 6 fresh mint leaves
• 1½ cups crushed ice
• 2 dashes aromatic bitters
• 1 small mint sprig

Equipment

Tall 12-oz highball glass, swizzle stick or bar spoon

Liquid oz means US fluid ounces (1 fl oz ≈ 30 mL); solid ingredients use the weights or spoon measures listed. Each recipe makes one drink. For adults 21 and over.

Step by step

1. Clap six mint leaves between palms and put into tall glass. Add both rums, lime, agave and tamarind; stir until tamarind dissolves.
2. Fill glass two-thirds with crushed ice. Swizzle or churn with a bar spoon for 15 seconds until frosty. Top with remaining crushed ice, add bitters across surface and tuck in mint sprig.

The Devotti twist: Tamarind adds sour depth beneath mint while an aromatic bitter cap changes the aroma with every sip.
