Curacao Rum Runner

by · August 6, 2024

The name says it all: Curacao Rum Runner. It’s a two-part simple mix of aged rum and dry curacao. Only orange bitters are added to give it a final touch. This mix is a great way to enjoy a good aged rum like the El Dorado 15-year. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao is the orange liqueur recommended and can be adjusted to one’s own preference of sweetness.

Requirements: Anejo rum (aged 10+ years preferred), dry curacao (Pierre Ferrand recommended), orange bitters

  • 1.5 oz. aged rum
  • .75 oz. dry curacao
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

Add ingredients to an ice-filled shaker. Shake to chill and strain over a large ice-cube.

Comments: Some published recipes prefer 1-ounce curacao to each 1.5-ounce rum. I thought it too sweet and reduced the curacao to .75 oz., maintaining a 2:1 ratio of rum to curacao.
