Review

We were recommended this cocktail with the comment that it tastes like an alcoholic "cola cube sweet." It does.

Really does actually. I think it's the combination of the dark rum and orange, alongside the cola itself.

Very nice afternoon or lunch cocktail. We did use our own coconut rum which is not sweet and higher proof than the liqueur. Resulting cocktail was sweet enough to be a sipper, but the flavour of the rum came through.
