Expense of Honesty Cocktail Recipe

The Expense of Honesty cocktail is a masterful blend of rum and bourbon, crafted by Matthew Tocco of Nashville’s Pinewood Social. This innovative drink combines the dryness of Brugal añejo rum with the sweetness of Arehucas Ron Miel Guanche and the robust spice of Old Forester Signature bourbon. Sweetened with demerara sugar and honey, and balanced with Angostura and Peychaud’s bitters, this cocktail is a testament to the versatility of rum and the enduring appeal of whiskey. It's a sophisticated choice for those looking to explore beyond traditional cocktail boundaries.
