The Rumhattan is a delightful twist on the Manhattan, replacing the classic rye or bourbon with a rich, aged rum. This swap delivers a cocktail that’s smooth, complex, and perfect for sipping on a warm California night. Sweet vermouth and both Angostura and orange bitters add layers of aromatic spice, while the garnish of orange peel and Luxardo cherry brings a pop of color and bright citrus aroma. It’s elegant, deeply flavored, and feels both familiar and refreshingly new—perfect for fans of classic cocktails and rum enthusiasts alike.
