My wife didn't like it but I think it was just the Wray and Nephews' funkiness that threw her off completely. I really enjoyed it. What a great refresher

This was such a miss for me. I couldn't taste a single ingredient that wasn't the one ounce of sugar syrup. I didn't even get the burn from the whopping 1.5 Oz of overproof Wray & nephew. First time in a while I've just poured a drink out, I can get hungover with Waaaay better drinks than this.

Replace the water with earl grey tea!

Great suggestion; I made it with orange pekoe.

Used Neisson rhum. Felt it needed a little more rum flavour. Added a float of Demerara Rum and it was perfect. Since it is summer, served with fresh cherries.

Wonderfully simple and delicious. Wray & Nephew it's amazing here, but I'm looking forward to try Rum Fire and other overproof rums in the near future.

Amazingly Good, one of the best ever. Shouldnt it be fine strained after shaking with juice? Thanks for the incredible recipes.

Our pleasure! I don't tend to fine strain when straining over ice. (I always fine strain after shaking and serving straight-up.)

Probably the best and one of the simplest cocktails of all time. Absolutely divine flavour, this takes you off to an evening on the beach where ever you are.

Meant to add - you can shake the nuts off this and make it a tall drink and the rum still cuts thru

Used 2/3 White overproof Wray and Nephew and 1/3 Lemon Hart 151 Demerara. Wow. Big rum punch (no pun intended).

So, effectively, a daiquiri w/ ango on the rocks...

Fantastic - I used Wray & Nephew Navy Strength (one of my favorites) - this cocktail allows the highlights of the rum to shine while boosting the sweetness and a bit of citrus as well. Excellent cocktail - highly recommended!!
