Review

Best described as a "Rum Sidecar", like the classic Sidecar , this cocktail is a tad on the sour side unless sipped through a sugared rim. Altogether a better drink if you forgo the rim and add 2.5ml (half a barspoon) sugar syrup (2:1) so the balance is properly integrated.

I love the balance in the outrigger. So simple and delicious. Also I’ve started putting that tiny pinch of salt in. A game changer

Had again. I mixed Barbados golden rum and Jamaican rum. Kept it dry and it was perfect.

I used also rum from Barbados and imho found the sugar rim absolutely necessary. Depending on your fruit it could be necessary to reduce it a bit.

Rum Sidecar is a good description. Nicely sour, but the sweetness will vary depending on how much sugar adulteration has been done to the rum. We use Barbados rum as Barbados restricts the adulteration of the rum.
