I went with 45ml Mount Gay Eclipse, 15ml Appleton Estate Signature, 15ml Velvet Falernum and 3 dashes of Ango over ice with a couple of lime wedges and a 15ml float of Skipper Dark. Absolutely delicious and I suspect very dangerous.

This is the Cruzan(TM) version. Not the real thing. The real McCoy is 2oz aged Bajan rum, 1/2 oz Falernum, squeeze of lime. Don’t let anything Cruzan near your corn n’ oil!

The robust simplicity and authenticity reminds me of a negroni. With good quality ingredients and fresh citrus you almost can’t go wrong. Brilliant.

Only a few rums in stock so did a 4:1 ish mix of plantation original dark and Havana 3, no float, velvet falernum and a generous squeeze of lime. Absolutely delicious.

Nice and smooth with Appleton 8 & no float. Need to try with a Bajan rum.

Cane Island Thailand 5 | JDT Velvet ... good flavor, balanced but a bit sweet. will try with different run and possibly a drier falernum?

As a fellow Carribean, I’ve made this cocktail to spec and mixed it up - Either way, absolutely great to taste and you get hit by the aromatics straight away.

Thanks, I've corrected to say Bajan.

Nice way to make a corn n oil, I personally tend towards the old-fashioned style on cubed ice and without the squeeze of lime juice, just a wedge for garnish. With some high-proof aged rum and a splash of water for volume it’s top tier. Even better when puffing on a Cuban cigar or cigarillo.
