Binny's Home Bartender: Rattle Skull
Rattle Skull
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 oz. El Dorado 8 year old Demerara Rum
- 12 oz. AleSmith Nut Brown or Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
- 1/2 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- Garnish: nutmeg, lime wheel
How to make
- In a large beer mug or Nonic pint glass combine rum, lime juice and simple syrup.
- Stir.
- Top with beer poured down the middle of the glass to create a big, fluffy head.
- Quickly grate nutmeg (in desired quantity, I like a hefty dose) over the head while it is in full bloom garnish with lime wheel.
- Serve immediately. Repeat if you dare. Skull rattling guaranteed.
Beer cocktails don’t get much attention these days. Probably because craft beer has morphed into an adjunct-laden playground where new releases are already tantamount to a cocktail, straight out of the bottle. The Rattle Skull really has no pre-made corollary and is certainly worth whipping up on a cool autumn or winter’s night.
Consider employing it as a welcoming cocktail for your beer loving friends over the holiday season (it’s great way to kick off Thanksgiving) or as the perfect nightcap to enjoy by a cozy, comforting fire. This is old school, potent and packed with rich warming flavors. It always elicits raves from craft beer and cocktail fans alike.
