Doctor Pepper, MD
This Rum Sidecar leads with Oro y Fierro Kumquat Chili Liqueur from the Brucato Amaro Distillery, just across the bridge from us in San Francisco's Mission District. It's a tart and piquant citrus liqueur akin to a Curacao that burns hot on entry, but quickly settles into a pleasant and warming afterburn. We pair it with the amazing Doctor Bird Pineapple Rum, a Navy Strength, high-ester Jamaican Rum infused with grilled pineapple; fresh lemon juice; and a touch of sugar for balance.
