Henry & John Cocktail

Rich molasses syrup adds an exotic dose of flavor to this nicely spiced tropical sipper.

2 oz. spiced rum
¾ oz. fresh lime juice
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
½ oz. molasses syrup
2 oz. soda water
Tools: shaker, strainer, barspoon
Glass: Collins
Garnish: long orange spiral, mint sprig

Combine all ingredients, except soda, and shake with ice. Place the orange spiral so that it runs up the inside of the Collins glass. Strain the cocktail over fresh ice into the glass. Top with soda and gently stir to combine. Garnish.
