This dark winter cocktail from Dan Greenbaum, who has mixed drinks at The Beagle in the East Village and Attaboy on the Lower East Side, pairs sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry with two kinds of rum and a sizable dose of Angostura bitters, which adds spice elements. The mixture comes on like a rich, rum old-fashioned, the forthright flavors of the rum, sherry and bitters intertwined in a fruitcake-like medley of clove, allspice, nuts, molasses and dried fruits. It’s a nightcap, to be sure, made to accompany dessert at your holiday feast.

Unsure where my, and others, helpful original notes have gone to. Very nice after dinner drink. Not for faint of heart. Big ice cube is oddly,very important
