Catharsis takes its name from the Greek word meaning "purification," and this intense, meaningful cocktail lives up to its namesake. With just three simple ingredients, it creates complex and profound layers of flavor that offer a truly transformative drinking experience.
Overproof rum, typically bottled at 50% ABV or higher, serves as the powerful foundation of this cocktail, providing the intense strength that defines its character. The addition of Italian amaretto, with its sweet almond notes, beautifully softens the rum's raw power while adding depth and complexity.
Fresh lime juice completes the trinity, providing the essential balance that elevates this cocktail from mere strength to sophistication. The citrus acidity cuts through the high proof spirits while adding brightness and refreshment to what could otherwise be an overwhelming drink.
Built simply over ice in a rocks glass, Catharsis may appear straightforward in preparation, but its flavor profile is anything but simple. At approximately 35% ABV, this is definitely a cocktail for those who appreciate strong, contemplative drinks.
Perfect for the end of a long day when you need a moment of reflection and release, Catharsis offers exactly what its name promises - a purifying experience that cleanses the palate and the spirit. This is a cocktail to be sipped slowly and savored deeply.
