Añejo Highball Cocktail Recipe
A modern classic created by Dale DeGroff in the late 1990s at the Rainbow Room in New York City, this rum highball combines aged rum with orange curaçao, lime juice, aromatic bitters, and ginger beer for a refreshing, citrusy, and spicy long drink inspired by Cuban rum cocktails.
