About the Añejo Highball
Dale DeGroff created it in the 1990s as a tribute to Cuban bartenders; "añejo" refers to the aged rum, not tequila. It appears in his book The Craft of the Cocktail.
Missing something?
- No Aged Rum? Use Gold Rum (Lighter and a little sweeter)
- No Aged Rum? Use Dark Rum (Heavier molasses notes)
- No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
- No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Angostura Bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
- No Ginger Beer? Use Ginger Ale (Milder and sweeter)
