The Black Redstart – a cocktail recipe by Michelle Hartsell Cocktail Engineer

Hello, I'm back after a summer hiatus with a nice little spicy and refreshing cocktail.  The only special ingredient you need is the Averna Amaro Siciliano liqueur.  To build this one in a shaker 1/3 filled with cracked ice add:

- 5 oz. good quality white or golden rum
- 1 oz. of the Averna Amaro Siciliano liqueur
- fresh squeezed juice from one small orange
- fresh squeezed juice from one lemon
- a good squeeze of agave nectar

Shake and strain into two ~6 oz cocktail glasses with two or three small ice cubes.  Garnish with one orange and one lemon peel.

The Black Redstart is a bird that can be found in Sicily as well as other parts of Europe.

Enjoy!
