Grand Slam No.2

After 4 years had this again. We used an amber Barbados rum and added a 151 float. It was outstanding. Strong, but great.

This one's a winner! I used 80° Carta Blanca and Dry Curaçao. The lemon lime split perfectly complemented the mildly astringent grenadine. Orange surrounds and aromatically abounds tempered by Bacardi's subtle signature bleu cheese yeast notes (thank you Simon) and Ferrand's spice. I will definitely make this again.

Using Planteray 3 stars, homemade grenadine, 1.5 simple (cut back to about equal proportions of the grenadine) and this is absolutely fantastic.

On the surface it tastes quite a bit like a classic daquiri, but then the bitterness of the lemon sneaks in and mingles with the Grand Marnier and gives an almost grapefruit quality to the profile. One of the best drinks I've tried on Difford's.

I noticed others saying it was too sweet--I did heed the advice and cut back the simple a smidge, but it could have had the full 1/4oz (semi-rich syrup) and been fine. The proportions are pretty much perfect with a homemade grenadine and 1.5 simple.

Thanks so much for the recipe!

Rather too sweet with Monin Grenadine syrup

This was great with my Cor Cor Agricole rum from Minamidaito, Okinawa.

Spot on review, though the orange was far more predominant than lime and lemon. Nice, crushable drink.

Very drinkable and it can easily stand an extra 10ml of rum!

Since I prefer my drinks on the tart side, I tried this both ways - omitting the sugar syrup and omitting the Grenadine. I liked the Grenadine only version.

A very easy drinking cocktail. Great balance and very citrus forward.

Very impressive rum cocktail. Very nice sweet and sour taste with a similar flavour to a rum based margarita. Very pleasant.
