    "notes": "At Smuggler’s Cove, the house style is to use a blended aged rum in this recipe. However, for a closer historical approximation of colonial-era drinks, you may wish to choose a pot still unaged rum or pot still lightly aged rum. Those produced today in New England especially mimic the rums of the day, albeit with much improved quality!",

    "overview": "From discriminating pirates aboard ship, to the electorate of colonial Virginia who found themselves plied with the stuff courtesy of a young George Washington during his campaign bid for the House of Burgesses, Bombo was enjoyed for hundreds of years. As cocktail historian David Wondrich says, \"[Bombo] is a simple drink in the same way a tripod is a simple device: Remove one leg and it cannot stand, set it up properly and it will hold the whole weight of the world.\" Ours is a kind of proto-old-fashioned, made with Demerara Syrup for a more refined molasses flavor.",
