Review:
Victor's original recipe was made for Bacardi Legacy so calls for a light white rum. Perhaps more importantly, he specifies pomegranate syrup and your choice of syrup, homemade or otherwise, will greatly influence the finished cocktail, as will your crème de cacao which shines.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2010 by Victor Nordelöf at Callooh Callay as an entry to Bacardi Legacy and included in Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown's Ramping Up the Classics!
Alcohol content:
- 1.4 standard drinks
- 23.67% alc./vol. (23.67° proof)
- 19.2 grams of pure alcohol

I used Havana Club 3 years old, I think it's the most fitting rum for this drink.
