I used El Dorado 8 and Mariquinhas cherry liqueur, Bittermens tiki as well. It's interesting I suppose, but heavily dependent on rum brand for dynamic impact. Worth a try though. (23 Mar 2024, 1:17p)

Hilarious. Just came back to this, not realizing I'd reviewed it so recently... Mariquinhas, no good. Still trying to find a suitable use for it. Maybe as a maraschino sub??... Anyway, Rhum Barbancourt 8 and Luxardo Sangue Morlacco was pretty damn good together. (9 Jun 2024, 9:43p)
