My second favourite Fruit Cup. The gin is better by quite a way, but I love the interaction of the rum with the rest of the flavours. I used Havana Club 3 with a tiny dash of Appleton Reserve Blend. I wonder about a rum combo version of the Rum Fruit Cup (think moderately aged rum like the Havana Club 3 with something funky and Jamaican).

Quite sweet indeed. 3/4 oz lime juice makes it better

Hi, I am about to run out of Pierre Ferrand and was thinking of trying a different Curacao, however I noticed a very broad spread of ABVs.in your top 10, some as low as 25%
What would you do with the recipe with lower ABV Curacao? Or should I just get the PF again

I'd recommend Pierre Ferrand or another with a similar alc./vol. and sugar.

Can I use Martini Rosso?

Quite sweet, like it a lot with 2 cl fresh lime juice

I used a frozen strawberry; figured it would add to the chill.
Am I actually supposed to taste the citrus slices and fruit?
No shaking, no muddling...
