Cocktail at Cromwell is made with rum, juice and fire — VIDEO

With rum, fruit juice and fire, the Beach Club might be more at home in a tiki bar than The Cromwell’s posh lounge Bound. But in addition to its herbal flavors, the Fernet-Branca brings a hip elegance befitting its home.

■ 1/2 oz. Fernet-Branca
