More like a Havana Club Special, where I used Havana Club 3. It was delicious, nevertheless, with generous fruity sweetness, esters of the rum (which is why I don't feel so bad using Bacardi Carta Blanca anyway), and botanicals of the gin. The lime's citrus sourness balances everything.

I totally agree. In my cocktail I used Tanquerey Rangpur Lime Gin and skipped all sugar sirup.

Now that's a tart cocktail for sure! I feel the little bit of syrup is needed for balance.
