Having recently visited Barbados and picked up some Bajan rum, I had to give this another go (for science!) and have to say its superb with Four Square rum.

Simon, it is interesting that you've stuck with a Cuban rum, rather than a Bajan rum. Is there a specific reason for that?

Hi Simon, Thanks for that. I did have Havana Club in my rums. I've removed it and the recipe is now selecting Veritas, although the "buy direct from Diffords Guide" is still showing Havana Club, but that's fine. Thanks for solving the mystery.

Before sending screen shot, please can you confirm that you don't have Havana Club, amonst other rums in Your Ingredients?

Great. Left out the optional powdered sugar, and it was delightfully tart. Everything was in balance. Went wonderfully with dinner.

Very good cocktail! I used Bitter Truth Falernum and as it is quite intense a bit more (6cl) Havana Club 3Y which came out very balanced.

Needs 1/3 simple syrup.

Made with Difford's Falernum and ripe limes I like as is but I can see some may like as 5ml 2:1 or 7.5ml 1:1 sugar syrup or even more. However, better with powdered sugar so I have added 1 spoon of this as an option. Many thanks for your feedback.

Zaya 16 and Falernum No 9 was just too much. Mad flavorful, but taxing. But it's what I had and I'll surely revisit many times to test rum brands. Great ratio.

Really enjoyed this cocktail. However I suspect that the picture you show on this page isn’t the correct picture. Veritas is light coloured, as is falernum.

Thanks for pointing out Andy. I'll replace the image ASAP.
