This is a very tasty drink! After a few experiments (life is so hard), I can also recommend a variation with half a plum with the skin still on. The flavor is quite different, tart and tannic, and holds up well to a darker rum. However, it's absolutely good as written. Mine was paler than the one shown, a beautiful peachy orange.
