The Blacktail Rum and Cola is a masterful reconstruction of an iconic highball by one of the world’s best bars.
Blacktail‘s Rum and Cola recipe was created by Blacktail’s (www.blacktailnyc.com) Head Bartender Jesse Vida and Dead Rabbit Program Director Jillian Vose. It is a very artful reconstruction of a Rum and coke and really elevates it into something delicious and elegant. It’s definitely worth a mix and sip and if you find yourself in New York City you should check out the bar.
Blacktail is also known for creating these beautifully illustrated graphic novel style collectible menus which are a bit on the pricy side but worth having. It’s a really cool novel idea and you can find them in their store.
Also worth mentioning is that I made a video on house made cola syrup which would also be great in this cocktail.
