Select the right glass [a "highball glass" means no larger than 10oz], appropriate and delicious rums, and take time to properly dissolve your powdered...
This one's really unbelievable. With the combo I used (Real Mccoy 3 year rum, Rittenhouse Rye, and Baie Des Trésors - Fruits of the Rain), this drink comes out tasting primarily of that french-oak cask note from my aged rhum. It's almost like a french-oak cask soda, if such a thing were to exist. If you're as much of a fiend for that flavor as I am, this is an amazing easy sipper for it.
I'm thinking this may have been more refreshing on a warm afternoon, but I felt that the soda water made this one a bit too watery for me. I love the interplay of rye and rum (and rhum!), so that was enough to get me to try it again -- next time with 3/4 or 1 oz of soda water instead.
Outstanding. Perfect on a warm afternoon. We are big rum/rhum drinkers and found this wonderful.
Used a local California rye, Barbados gold rum, and Rhum JM from Martinique. While you can taste the various alcohols it is very easy to drink.
