Espresso Rumtini Cocktail

While other elements provide a backdrop, it is the selection of rum that impacts the drink’s body and character. Adding complexity, complementing bitterness with subtle layers, the rum base gives the concoction a layered profile, ideal for evening menus or dessert pairings.
