Rum and herbal honey liqueur enhance each other, with lime adding flavour, freshness and balance

Thanks, Murry. The vodka-based recipe and accompanying image are from the late-1990s and I suspect I found it on a London bar's cocktail list. Whoever created this version must have read the Café Royal but used vodka - the go-to spirit in the 90s. I'll make, update and re-photograph with rum.

Hi Murray. I've just made and updated the recipe above. I cut the lime cordial back with lime juice to balance. The result is reminiscent of a herbal honey daiquiri.
