This cocktail was inspired by Weldon Mills’ unique and delicious Sweet Potato Whiskey and a southern fall favorite, the Sweet Potato Sanca. By splitting the base with this buttery aged rum, adding vanilla and just a drop or two of saline, this cocktail makes a beautiful tribute that that delicious dish. The maple pecan bitters help keep the cocktail balanced and light on the palate while the rest of the ingredients transport you to the syrupy and flaky crusted confection.
