East London Liquor Company's head bartender Mikey Pendergast took inspiration from historical rum punch to create this winter cocktail, which matches the tart cherry juice and delicate fennel and pear flavours perfectly. ELLC's Demerara Rum is made using molasses produced from 100% Demerara sugar which is grown on the banks of the Demerara River in Guyana. The spirit is micro-distilled in a two-column wooden Coffey still, the world's only surviving wooden column still, which lends the alcohol a deep, woody flavour. It's then aged in former bourbon casks to add spicy vanilla notes.
