At heart, this is a rum-based Old Fashioned. But rather than fruit muddled in, this drink has the glass rinsed with maraschino liqueur for a subtle cherry-almond hint. This recipe was built to showcase Afrohead, a rum made in Trinidad from Dominican sugarcane, which has a brown sugar and spice flavor profile; any good aged rum can be used.
