History:

Discovered in 1999 at One Aldwych, London, England. This cocktail takes its name from Oscar Wilde's novel, in which a socialite's wish to remain as young and charming as his own portrait is granted. Allured by his depraved friend Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian Gray assumes a life of perversion and sin. But every time he sins the painting ages, while Gray stays young and healthy.

A bit boozy this one; not too keen.

I used an overproof rhum agricole. Made it a bit stronger and cut some of the sweetness. Turned out very good.
