Bombo

March 15, 2017 by Kevin Upthegrove

From episode 67 of 5 Minutes of Rum, Bombo is another rum cocktail from ago. Rum and a little bit of sugar syrup (molasses and demerara are 2 such choices), dusted with nutmeg. Good basic experiment to try with different styles of rum. Skull sippy cup from Vantiki.
