No exact bottle on the shelf? These swaps keep Broadside close to the original.
Instead of Angostura Bitters
- Orange Bitters— citrus-forward
- Peychaud's Bitters— brighter, anise-tinged
Instead of Overproof Rum
- Dark Rum— milder — the drink loses some kick
Instead of Scotch
- Bourbon— sweeter
- Irish Whiskey— softer, no smoke
Instructions
Half fill the glass with ice cubes.
Crush the wormwood and add to ice.
Pour rum, scotch and butters.
Then serve!
Pairs well with
Overproof rum firing across Scotch and wormwood needs heavy provisions:
- Smoked brisket bites
- Aged cheddar chunks
- Salted rye crisps
- Candied walnuts
