Autumn Decade

I got the idea for this while sipping gold Rhum J.M one evening with some friends. Someone pointed out the apricot note in the rum, especially when it opened up a little with water. I’ve kept the apricot brandy in the background so you can still taste the rum. The color of J.M is apricot too.



Autumn Decade

  • 1 1/2 oz Bacardi 8
  • 3/4 oz gold Rhum J.M
  • 2 tsp Grand Marnier
  • 1 tsp apricot brandy
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

  1. One of your old drinks taught me that apricot brandy also goes KILLER along with mango nectar. A gold agricole/apricot/mango combo may be worth looking into...

    1. I usually use a Martinique with aforementioned mango thing and you sometimes have to choose which element will be more prominent—mango or agricole. Maybe an earthier rum like J.M might help there.
