This was very disappointing. First cocktail I have given a 3 star and would not try again rating. Found the cocktail made to the directions very bitter and a bit unpleasant.

However, I do think the rum is wrong. Being a big rum drinker, I think a white Barbados or non-agricole rum would be better. I added a dash of Creole Shrubb and it did help a bit.
