About
For the lover of grassy funky agricole rhum, this is an easy treat that puts your agricole center stage. Agricole is a style of rum distilled from fresh sugarcane juice as opposed to molasses and takes on a very different bright and vegetal flavor profile. This cocktail is in-your-face with its raw grassy flavors, spirit forward, and yet fabulously refreshing. For those less acquainted with agricole rhum, I’d suggest you first familiarize yourself with the spirit thru a Ti Punch. After that, give this one a shot!
