Rum and fruit juices with dashes of aromatic bitters. Aunt Agatha likes simple things done well.

I guess it should be "SHAKE first 4 ingredients with ice," and not "SHAKE first 3 ingredients with ice."

Thanks, Kjell. I also realise that for the photo, I shook with the bitters rather than dashing on top after straining.
