Keep Your Dreams A Burnin’ is a masterful twist on the sherry cobbler template from legendary New Orleans bartender Kirk Estopinal.
Estopinal brings in a little bit of Jamaican rum, in the form of Smith & Cross. You could instead opt for the molasses sweetness of demerara rum, or use any other full-bodied dark rum you have on hand.
Like any cobbler, the final drink should be wreathed in fresh fruits. Powdered sugar and cinnamon sticks are nice, too!
Shake all ingredients (yes, even the lemon peels) with ice. Strain into a short glass or julep cup filled with crushed ice. Garnish with half-wheels of citrus, brandied cherries, and/or a cinnamon stick, and dust with powdered sugar if you’d like.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
