Rhum agricole is rum distilled from fresh sugarcane juice (not molasses). Substitute with quality aged rum or rhum barbancourt if agricole is unavailable, though the flavor profile will shift slightly toward caramel notes.
Creole Shrubb is a rum-based orange liqueur traditional to the Caribbean, with spice and citrus notes. If unavailable, use Curaçao or triple sec, though you'll lose the spiced character.
Serve chilled in a coupe or cocktail glass over ice or stirred up and strained. The fresh nutmeg and star anise garnish should be added just before serving for maximum aroma.
Mix the liquid ingredients up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate, but add garnish and serve immediately to preserve the aromatic qualities of the nutmeg and star anise.
Angostura and orange bitters are traditional; both add depth without overpowering the rum and citrus. Use quality cocktail bitters—avoid imitation extracts.
