The Añejo Highball is a complex rum-based cocktail. A new classic cocktail created by Dale DeGroff, a recognized genius and craftsman among bartenders, as a tribute to the great bartenders of Cuba, the Añejo joins all three of the “holy trinity” of rum drinks through a blend of curaçao, lime, and rum. It epitomizes the bartender’s creative art.
The Añejo is well on its way to becoming a classic cocktail, but it is still only to be found in the more chic and hip bars and nightspots. True to a great cocktail, it is relatively easy to make at home, following the recipe carefully.
Measuring and playing with recipes is not uncommon —and is often welcome. But the Añejo is one cocktail that cannot be improved upon. Añejo rum is a golden blend of rich, aged rums with a mellow taste and rich aroma. The name is derived from an ancient Spanish word meaning “aged.”
