Beneath Broken EarthCocktail recipe
Rating
Once I got this new bottle of (then still unknown to me) Matusalem Gran Reserva 15 aged rum I wondered what other components would be good enough to fit it as companions. Cointreau is always one of the first to-go ingredients in such efforts. And it did fit well, but something was missing - something to mellow down the nice, but fiery concoction. Then the blackcurrant juice went in - adding some freshness, yet giving some sweet-tart contrast.

FAQ's
Can I substitute Cointreau in the Beneath Broken Earth cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute Cointreau with other orange liqueurs like Triple sec or Grand Marnier if you're looking for a similar flavor profile. If you want a non-alcoholic version, orange extract mixed with a bit of simple syrup can work as a substitute.
What is the best way to serve the Beneath Broken Earth cocktail?
The Beneath Broken Earth should be served in a highball glass over ice. For an enhanced presentation and experience, garnish with a twist of orange peel or a few blackcurrants to complement the flavors in the drink.
How does the alcohol content in Beneath Broken Earth compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 20%, the Beneath Broken Earth has a slightly lower alcohol content than many classic cocktails, which often range from 25% to 40%. It's a good choice for those seeking a less potent option.
Is there a specific technique for stirring the Beneath Broken Earth cocktail to achieve the best flavor?
Yes, when stirring the Beneath Broken Earth cocktail, use a long spoon to reach the bottom of the glass, and stir gently but thoroughly for about 30 seconds. This method integrates the ingredients evenly without over-diluting the drink, preserving its rich flavors.
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Beneath Broken Earth cocktail?
To create a non-alcoholic version, replace the Cointreau with orange juice or a non-alcoholic orange liqueur, and substitute the aged rum with a combination of non-alcoholic dark rum alternative and a bit of molasses or simple syrup to mimic the rum's sweetness. The blackcurrant juice remains the same.
