What’s Cooking in Southwest Florida

Restaurant: Cielo

Serves: 1 Custom Tropical-Infused Rum

Cut 1 ripe pineapple, 2 lemons, 2 oranges and any other tropical fruit if desired. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Place fruit in large container that has a lid. Pour your favorite rum over the fruit, cover and let sit for 3 to 7 days. The longer it sits, the better—but 3 days is enough if you’re antsy!

The Drink

2 ounces custom tropical-infused rum 1 ounce Falernum liqueur

4 dashes tiki bitters

Start by smoking a rocks glass. Stir all ingredients in separate mixing glass. Pour over large ice cube in your pre-smoked glass.
