Made this with very neutral Don Q Cristal but that was the wrong call. A more interesting Spanish rum would have added an extra dimension I think the juice wants. Campari and pineapple go well together. Rum integrates, fruit is large on the palate without mud, finish is pleasant savory bitterness.

Husband appreciated the Campari a little more than me so I added a touch more syrup and that fixed it. Solid tiki aperitif to start the evening!

This is a good one! Added some more syrup and used coarse salt instead of solution.

Big fan of this one!

I added a few more drops of saline. This also benefits from some time in the class. All in all it was refreshing.

Surprisingly good! I'm generally not a fan of red bitter liqueurs, but this drink balanced out the flavours so well that it was really enjoyable.

Great tiki-esque drink for those that don't like 'em too sweet. Fruity and somewhat sweet up front then bitter and salty at the end. Great balance with a lot of flavors.
