Wow, this is a delicious rich luxurious drink. But split it in two small Coupes, it will be enough. I used Worthy Park 109 Rum which did not overpower and blended well. I also did not have Tonka Bitters so subbed Angostura Aromatic bitters with 3 drops of Vanilla Extract. This drink needs more exposure, it is great. Cheers.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
