Ingredients
- 1 bag microwave butter popcorn
- 750-ml bottle Bacardi Ocho Rum
- 2 oz. popcorn-infused rum
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- 1 dash Regan's orange bitters
- 1/2 oz. Demerara sugar syrup (2:1)
- Garnish: orange zest or twist and freshly popped popcorn
Method
- Pop the bag of microwave butter popcorn and empty the popped corn into a large sealable bag.
- Pour the whole bottle of rum over the popcorn, seal the bag, and leave it to infuse overnight at room temperature.
- Freeze the sealed bag for 4 to 6 hours, until all the butter fat and solids have hardened.
- Snip a small corner from the bag and strain the rum through a coffee filter, changing filters as they clog, until the liquid runs clear.
- Stir the popcorn-infused rum, Angostura bitters, orange bitters and demerara syrup with ice in a mixing glass until well chilled and lightly diluted.
- Strain the drink over a large ice cube in an old-fashioned glass and garnish with orange zest and a few pieces of freshly popped popcorn.
