Romance de Romero

Inspired by Pedro Romero, the matador of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, this cocktail recalls a time and a place far, far away, somewhere in Spain, with the thrill of the bullfight electrifying the night. High-quality Spanish sherry makes all the difference in the outcome.

Makes 1 cocktail

Simple Syrup

Applewood-smoked sea salt

2 fresh sprigs of rosemary

1 ounce fine aged rum (we prefer Pyrat XO)

1 ounce Oloroso sherry (we prefer Emilio Lustau)

½ ounce Fernet-Branca

½ ounce fresh Meyer lemon juice

½ ounce Sangre del Toro Syrup (recipe follows)

Sea Salt

Rim a pewter cup using Simple Syrup and applewood-smoked sea salt (available at gourmet food stores). Fill with one 2-inch ice cube and set aside.

Muddle 1 sprig of fresh rosemary in a shaker and fill with cubed ice. Combine the rum, sherry, Fernet, juice, Sangre del Toro Syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Shake and strain into the rimmed pewter cup with the ice cube. Lightly singe the other sprig of rosemary over the stovetop or a lighter, and garnish the cocktail while it’s still smoking.
