Description

A Fancy Rum cocktail is rum, bitters, and Triple SecThe Fancy Cocktail form is useful to know. You can make a whole galaxy of interesting cocktails just by playing around with what's in your cabinet and whatever weird thing you got at last year's Yankee Swap.

Before continuing, be sure to read about the Basic cocktail form first.

The original Fancy Cocktails were spirits and bitters sweetened with Triple Sec instead of the simple syrup used in the Basic Cocktail form. You can substitute all sorts of other liqueurs and combinations, keeping the proportions the same until you settle on a flavor profile.
