To properly shake the Fair And Warmer cocktail, first fill a shaker with ice. Add 60ml of white rum, 15ml of red vermouth, and a dash of Blue Curaçao into the shaker. Secure the lid or shaker top and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This ensures that the cocktail is well chilled and properly mixed. Then, strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.

SERVING_SUGGESTIONS

INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS

Can I substitute Blue Curaçao with something else in the Fair And Warmer cocktail?

Yes, you can substitute Blue Curaçao with Triple Sec or Cointreau if you're looking for a similar citrus flavor without the distinctive blue color.

What garnish would complement the Fair And Warmer cocktail?

A simple yet elegant garnish for the Fair And Warmer cocktail is a twist of orange peel or a thin slice of orange. The citrusy aroma and flavor of the orange peel beautifully complement the sweet and tangy notes of the cocktail, enhancing its overall presentation and flavor profile. For a touch of color contrast, a maraschino cherry can also be added.
