In the August Sun
Looks like a Pina Colada and indeed tastes a lot like a Pina Colada but overproof rum, fino sherry and falernum ensure this is no ordinary Pina Colada

Love this. Fino goes with the tiki flavours really well.

darn, my coconut cream went bad, used banana liquor instead for that 10 ml.My sherry was Pedro Ximenez (PX) which is crazy sweet, had to add 20ml lime. will bypass rating until i re-make this "proper". >:D

I think the full name of the original was "Drunk in the August Sun." The original was a little too sweet, this version is better.
I made a minor tweak, adding about 3/8 oz lime juice. Wray & Nephew for the rum, Harvey's Bristol Cream for the sherry.
Very good cocktail -- a flavor profile that's unique, full, complex but fun.

Not sure if you made it with that or not, but Bristol cream is significantly sweeter than most fino sherry. That may be the difference you note in the original being too sweet.
