Review

Full-bodied and well-balanced with bittersweetness and bright citrus sourness, all playing harmoniously with the characterful rum.

We sometimes find Mr Clapham's recipes to be a bit eccentric. But we thoroughly enjoyed this one. Sumptuously bold. And it entices experimenting with the amaro.

This is quite nice. First noticed in Mr. Clapham's "That's Amaro", and like many other entries from that book, it does not disappoint. The interplay of the Montenegro and Pamplemousse in particular was quite delightful, supported throughout by the rum backbone.

Should be ½ measure of grapefruit liqueur, rather than grapefruit juice - I used the one from Giffard, the excellent Crème de Pamplemousse Rose.

Sorry, Jason. I was too hasty when selecting ingredients from the drop menu. Now corrected. Many thanks for your support.
