@Simon: Given the international reach of this website, it might be helpful to specify which type/style of "lemonade" should be used, since that can mean different things in the UK vs the US, etc. Perhaps the ingredient itself should have a parenthetical specification to make it clear for all recipes containing that ingredient.

I've added links to recommended brands and will aim to make this country-specific.

Great cocktail for a summer afternoon or evening. Very well balanced and not overly sweet. Would definitely have again alone or with a dinner. Would be perfect at a barbeque.

Just a heads-up...you've listed 1/2 oz. lime juice twice in the recipe.

Whoops! First lime juice should have been light rum. A tad too hasty with our drop menu CMS. Now corrected. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
