Nice cocktail. Personally I would stay closer to the original recipe and use more juices.

Love your site. The ingredient list calls for golden rum, the description describes dark rum. Which one should I use?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 32w

Thanks, Tucker. I used Havana 3, so more accurately a golden rather than dark rum, a rum with a little age and character.

Thank you and cheers!

Nice riff on a Jack Rose. A bit less tart with the added orange juice. I used Mt Gay Black Barrel for the rum and the split base with applejack was very complementary.
