Review:

Rhum agricole wit with lime and a subtle hint of mint. Patiently stir your sugar so it fully dissolves, strike the right balance, and this is a brilliant cocktail.

Lovely cocktail. Did cut the sugar by half and made for a wonderfully sour cocktail. Sort of an agricole based mojito.

We loved this...very tangy and very rhum agricole. We substituted Acqua Bianca for white creme de menthe...perhaps toning down sweetness.
