Third Rail

      Playing around with the Savoy Cocktail Book, at the I.O.Speak, Binoy chose the Third Rail,No.2. Following the recipe to the "T" Binoy used Matusalem Platino in the first mix, and we all agreed it to be to light and lacking in flavor. We then went trough the array of rums on the shelf in the speakeasy; 10 Cane, Ron Zacapa 23, Angostura 7; all lacking in depth. I think the drink could use a little vermouth in my opinion, but we found a little Angostura bitters helped with the aged rums. Either way the Third Rail needs some work.

1 Dash Absinthe. (1 dash Absente)
1/3 Bacardi Rum. (1 oz Matusalem Platino Rum)
1/3 Calvados or Apple Brandy. (1 oz Daron Calvados)
1/3 Brandy. (1 oz Hennessy VS)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
