The Silent Broadsider is not your typical rum-based cocktail. It blends rum with the flavors of anise, lemon and a touch of grenadine for a taste that’s tart and slightly spicy, but with just a touch of sweetness to keep it comfortable.
Enjoy this drink the next time you’re in the mood for something complicated but tasty. This one feels like an acquired taste, but it’s actually very drinkable. And it goes incredibly well with this very simple and particularly tasty shortbread recipe.

- 1/2 ounce anisette
