My Best Improv Drink Ever

In my previous post, I mentioned picking up a bottle of Aguardente Antioqueño, and my moderately successful try at an Junior Merino drink, Maiz + Aguardente.

Antioqueño is a bit like Sambucca, anise, and Absinthe, though drier, not syrupy, and milder. While I was sipping the drink, I looked up at my bar, and a light went off that it would pair well with Cruzan Black Strap Rum. Several hours after dinner, I took a shot at making something up, And it turned out beyond my expectations. Even while I was pouring various liquids together, I was thinking, "What the hell am I doing?" but somehow knew it was the right direction.
