Good, but not great with Hamilton 86. The passion fruit syrup is prominent, but not overbearing against a full-flavored rum like the Hamilton. I could be crazy, but I do taste both the lemon and lime. Drink feels like it's missing a little something though. Saline? Ango drops?

Hey Simon,
that's not an old-fashioned glass in the picture. Or the other way around "serve in a coupe glass"?

My apologies, Tobias. Took me 5+ years to see your comment. I've now corrected to coupe glass.
