For this multi-dimensional stunner, Toronto bar maven Jen Agg reaches for Panamanian rum.

1 1/2 oz. aged rum

3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc

½ oz. Cynar (or slightly less, to taste)

Oloroso sherry to wash

Tools: metal shaker tin, barspoon, pastry brush, strainer

Glass: rocks

Garnish: lemon peel

Combine the rum, Lillet and Cynar in a shaker tin and stir with ice cubes until well chilled. Using a pastry brush, paint sherry around the lip and inside a chilled rocks glass. Add a large ice cube. Strain the drink into the glass, then garnish, extracting lemon oil onto the surface of the drink before dropping the peel into the glass.
