One of our favorite bottles of rum on the shelf, and an essenial component in our favorite Mai Tai recipe. Crafted by a team of enterprising distillers in Detroit Michigan, the Doctor Bird is born of pure Jamaican rum. After a journey to Motor City, the rum is rested in fragrant barrels which were previously used to age moscatel wine. The result is a rum that flexes its funk with poise and charm.
And our Mai Tai recipe? Adapted from David Wondrich's Lofi Happy Hour Tweet series, the recipe is as follows:
1oz Doctor Bird Rum
1oz Agricole Rum Blanc (Neisson or Rhum J.M. 50%)
1oz Lime Juice, fresh squeezed
.5oz Giffard Orgeat Syrup
.5oz Ferrand Dry Curaçao
Combine ingredients in cocktail shaker with two handfuls of cracked ice and shake vigourously. Pour cocktail into glass of pebbled orc rushed ice, and garnish with fresh mint. Note: if you'd like a sweeter Mai Tai, use a lesser proof rum, such as Rhum J.M.'s 40% Blue Label Agricole Rhum. Aloha!
Two James Description
Because of our belief in the importance of local agriculture and the fact that sugar cane isn’t readily available in Michigan, we decided to take our Rum project to the Caribbean, and the “Land of Wood and Water”. We import several different Jamaican rums and ship them back to our distillery in Detroit where they are artfully blended and aged in special Moscatel barrique. The result is a high esther flavor bomb of incredible length and complexity. The Doctor is most definitely IN! (from the producer)
