Ruhlman, Michael. The Book of Cocktail Ratios: The Surprising Simplicity of Classic Cocktails. Illustrated by Marcella Kriebel. New York: Scribner, 2023. Supplied ebook-derived PDF, 282 pages; ebook ISBN 9781668003411.
The author describes blending rum to approximate complexity associated with an unavailable older ingredient. One contemporary version splits aged and white rum equally. The single- and split-rum versions also differ in syrup, so they do not isolate the effect of the base-spirit blend.
