Aged rum has scrumptious oaky flavors of vanilla and cinnamon, together with a posh sweetness. The bitter fruit within the Aperol mixed with the intensely savory maple / burnt caramel flavors of the fenugreek completely complement and stability out the woody sweetness of the rum; these flavors work collectively to supply a balanced, advanced cocktail that’s simple to make and solely requires a couple of substances. Plus, it appears to be like nice – the Aperol lends a ravishing vermilion coloration and it virtually appears to be like as if it was lit from inside.
