Spicy Lugger Recipe
This is the signature serve for Lyme Bay Winery’s award winning Lugger Rum, a Caribbean rum aged in bourbon-charred oak barrels in Devon. The flavour profile of the cocktail is lively with subtle notes of fruit and a spiced finish, providing just enough kick to make this sip interesting without being overpowering. The mix of angostura bitters with the fruit syrup adds an aromatic layer to the drink which really complements the character of the rum.
