Daiquiri (on-the-rocks)
Light and refreshing. No one flavour predominates - sweet and sourness in harmony with spirituous rum

The rums from Barbados excel in every way, especially Mount Gay. Exquisitely versatile for many cocktails. My go to rum since 1982. As for daiquiris - try a banana daiquiri - truly an addictive delight.

I also do rhum from Martinique and Haiti. They are both agricole and a different flavour profile. Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, and Haiti all have laws governing sugar adulteration of their rum/rhum which brings forward the flavour instead of sweetness.
