Adapted from a recipe created circa 2010 by Justin Burrow at Anvil Bar in Houston, Texas (originally with Yellow Chartreuse rather than Strega). Justin specifies no garnish, saying, "I've always thought lime oil was too bitter."

If is the Indonesian Rhum, and the original say it goes for Yellow Chartreuse and this goes for Strega... then I use the Strega and goes for plain simple Bacardi. I was afraid since sometimes the ones rhumie are just plain daiquiris and not very last word. This is not. I love it. maybe I would'nt do it again -but so little time and so much opportunities to shake my coctelera. is very surprising and lovely. I will continue my labor of knowing all the last words in the world.
