Review

The rich flavour of the aged rum marries well with vermouth and apple, freshened by lime.

A very refreshing cocktail, although we thought that the volume of apple juice, as specified, was a bit excessive, so we dialled it back to 50ml to allow the rum to assert itself more strongly.

Agreed. I've dropped apple juice from 75ml to 60ml.

Made this with Bacardi 8 year & Dolin Rouge. Delicious. Kind of like an "adult" apple cider. Great option for the autumn.

Had this with gold Jamaican rum. Added a little of the Jamaican funk. Very good to offset the sweetness. Perfect with a spicey dinner.

I made this and got zero froth... How did you manage such a foamy head?

It's a cocktail we photographed some 20 years ago and I suspect I read the recipe wrongly for the shoot and used pineapple juice. I've just made both versions and the (correct) version with apple juice is a much better drink. I noted to reshoot with apple juice. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
