Autumn Wind

The AUTUMN WIND is a two-layered Mai Tai variation whose bottom layer combines tequila, falernum and lime juice while black strap rum provides the top-layer floater. Black strap rum provides depth and a rich molasses flavor. The equal parts in the bottom concoction provide hints of margarita, with allspice & almond elements added by falernum. When stirred, the combo of flavors is delicious and memorable.

Requirements: black strap rum (Cruzan or Goslings preferred), silver tequila, falernum, lime juice, lime wheel garnish

• 1.5 oz. black strap rum
• 1/2 oz. silver tequila
• 1/2 oz. falernum
• 1/2 oz. lime juice
• 1 lime wheel and straw for garnish

Add tequila, falernum and lime juice to an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a rocks glass filled with small ice cubes or crushed ice. Top the rocks glass with black strap rum. Garnish with a lime wheel and a straw

History: This Caribbean type cocktail was created by a bartender as a companion drink to honor his NFL football team during games.

Comments: If crushed ice is used, more ice may be added to the top without disturbing the floater. The imbiber may stir the drink before drinking, or not.
