The Knickerbocker, a Civil War-era cocktail, is being revived at Vulture in San Diego. The drink's recipe, based on Jerry Thomas' 1862 bar guide, includes Santa Cruz rum, Curaçao, raspberry syrup, and citrus. While the original Santa Cruz rum style is no longer produced, a mix of three rums—Probitas, Chairman's Reserve, and Saint Benevolence—is used to enhance flavors. The modern blend pairs well with fruity, jammy, and citrusy notes, offering a contemporary twist on a historical recipe.
The version at Vulture is based on the recipe in Jerry Thomas' 1862 bar guide, featuring Santa Cruz rum, Curaçao, raspberry syrup, and citrus juices.
Ryden uses a blend of Probitas rum, Chairman's Reserve, and Saint Benevolence to recreate the Knickerbocker, enhancing the drink's fruity characteristics.
