ETHAN'S SPIRIT OF THE MONTH

COCKTAILS

"COCKTAIL CUISINE"

Clement Rhum "Vieux"

 

 

"Man is it hot, it's like Africa hot, Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot!" Neil Simon could not have said it better. The thing is tough, if I am going to be this hot I should at least have a cigar in hand, and my toes in the sand. However, it is New York, and that is not always possible, which is why I selected this Rhum Vieux by Clement as the perfect Summer Spirit. One sip and you'll be swept away to the Caribbean cooking your heels under tropical breezes. This aged rhum from Martinique is a minimum of 6 years old and presents aromas ranging from vanilla and orange to butter and spice. This beautiful bottle seems as if it were destined for hot sultry nights, good cigars, and better company.
