Atlas Cocktail

     The drink of the night led us out of the forever loved Savoy and onto another media. Cocktaildb.com has a great database of vintage cocktails with pictures of vintage ingredients when available. Not to far in to the A's we stumble upon the Atlas Cocktail. It appears to be a delicious mix of calvados, Demerara rum with a little Cointreau and a dash of bitters.
     Unfortunately Nebraska does not yet have Demerara rum, that I am aware of, and outside of ordering a bottle a waiting a week I decided to substitute. As no other rum really compares to Demerara style I chose a favorite that is greatly mixable and go from there. And we have our rendition of the ever classic Atlas Cocktail.
