Phoenix Lounge – Royal King

About this Cocktail

Perched above the bustle of New Kingston, Phoenix Lounge mixes skyline views with plush, low-lit interiors that feel equal parts members-club and modern cocktail den. Their signature Royal King honours Jamaica’s rum royalty: a base of Appleton Estate 8 Year is lifted by silky honey-clove syrup, brightened with fresh lime, then crowned with a float of ruby port that swirls like a regal sash over the ice. The result is a layered sipper that starts spicy-sweet, finishes dry, and looks every inch the monarch of the menu

Recipe

Steps:

  • Muddle rosemary Strip the leaves from 1 medium rosemary sprig and give them a light muddle in the base of your shaker tin to release their oils.
  • Add spirits & modifiers
  • Fill the tin with cubed ice, seal, and shake for about 12 seconds until well-chilled.
  • Strain Double-strain through a fine mesh into a chilled coupe (for an up serve) or over fresh ice in a rocks glass if you prefer it on the rocks.
  • Garnish Gently smack a fresh rosemary sprig between your hands to awaken the aroma and lay it across the rim.

Garnish:

White cranberry
