Some like to muddle a bitters-soaked brown sugar cube until "smooth paste" to make this cocktail. Depending on your sugar cube, even with a splash of soda...

one of my favorites but I have to know: what the heck constitutes wet ice? regardless, I used a splash of water this time because I'm assuming my ice isn't wet, quite delicious. Knob Creek and Doctor Bird

Our understanding is that 'wet ice' is most likely to be encountered in a bar, where the cubes are stored at a relatively high temperature...perhaps to make them easier for the bartender to deploy. Any cubes coming out of an optimally functioning home freezer are unlikely to be 'wet'.

I might change my mind but I had this with a lighter rum only aged 3 years. I think playing around with this it could make something very tasty.

Tried with Appleton Estate 12 year and Rittenhouse Rye. It's okay, but I prefer a regular sazerac. I'm starting to think I only like Jamaican rum in mai tais.

I'm with John on this one. Made mine with Rittenhouse and Smith & Cross. The S&C brings that Jamaican funk that stands up to the Rittenhouse BinB. Need two heavyweights or one's going to overpower the other.

I love a Sazerac.
Your issue may have been the Appleton. We are big rum drinkers and find that Appleton is a bit tame for a Jamaican rum. I would go with a Hamilton Black or Myer's Single Barrel. The Jamaican funk is needed to balance the rye.

This is good. But to get it to excellent you will have to experiment with a lot of specific rye/rum combination until you nail down the perfect mix.

Great evening sipping cocktail. Very spirit forward. Flavours of rye and rum worked outstandingly together. Did back off the sugar syrup by half to make it a bit dryer. To capture more of the cocktails essence, we served in small snifters which concentrated the flavours as you drank.
