This classic salmon-pinky cocktail perfectly combines and balances the light rum with the assertive sourness of lime juice and rich sweetness of pomegranate...
Very nice cocktail. Great for a hot summer day. Not overly sweet. I also usually substitute Maraschino syrup for the rich syrup, just to add depth. For a nice riff on this one, search for Bacardi Special here on Difford's. It adds Gin to the mix.
Personally, i didn't like this cocktail at all, until... i made a few adjustments, by adding some fresh pineapple juice, (almost the same quantity again), next i added all the ice from the shaker and finally topped it all up with a good splash of lemonade, bingo, now tastes absolutely delicious! ( IMHO) much improved.
Sipping this right now, nice and easy to make. Having a work team online drinks evening in a couple of months and told them will mix a cocktail with the cam online and will compile a list of easy cocktails with few ingredients in advance which they can make and this is an ideal candidate
