Advice
Use a dry, clean rakijaβoverly fusel/heavy bottles taste harsh when stirred spirit-forward. A single large cube chills slowly and prevents dilution shock.
Why it works
Demeraraβs caramel notes soften rakijaβs edges while bitters add spice; orange oils echo plum skin aromatics and make the stone-fruit pop.
Twist
Walnut Old Fashioned: swap bitters for walnut bitters. Smoky version: add a barspoon of smoked plum syrup or a drop of peated whisky. Citrus-forward: split orange peel with a small grapefruit strip.
