Jet Pilot: A cocktail with character
The Jet Pilot is a cocktail that attracts attention not only with its name, but also with its powerful blend of different types of rum and exotic ingredients. This drink is a tribute to the classic tiki drinks that became popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
Ingredients and preparation
The base of the Jet Pilot is three different types of rum: aged Jamaican rum, golden Puerto Rican rum and Demerara Overproof rum. These are combined with falernum, a sweet syrup that often contains spices and almond flavors. Fresh lime juice and pink grapefruit juice provide the necessary freshness and acidity, while cinnamon syrup adds a sweet spice. The cocktail is rounded off with Angostura bitters and a touch of absinthe, which give the drink a complex depth and a subtle bitterness.
