Tailor of Panama

For this multi-dimensional stunner, Toronto bar maven Jen Agg reaches for Panamanian rum.

1½ oz. aged rum
3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc
½ oz. Cynar (or slightly less, to taste)
Oloroso sherry to wash
Tools: shaker tin, barspoon, pastry brush, strainer
Glass: rocks
Garnish: lemon peel

Combine the rum, Lillet and Cynar in a shaker and stir with ice until chilled. Using a pastry brush, paint the sherry around the lip and inside a chilled rocks glass. Add a large ice cube. Strain the drink into the glass, then garnish, extracting lemon oil onto the surface of the drink before dropping the peel into the glass.
