Bittersweet and boozy with a dry finish. Striking the right degree of dilution is key to the success of this cocktail – stir a little longer than usual...
Really amazing - your rum is central to the success of this cocktail. I used Smith and Cross (which is linked to Hampden) and the funky rum notes are displayed to fantastic effect! IMO, the other ingredients act to soften, sweeten and add some fruit to the rum - complementing the flavor while allowing the funkiness to come through. This is an exceptional cocktail for someone who really likes their Jamaican rum!
