Strangely sweeter than expected. Good, but a bit much raspberry and not much else.

To get a sweet cocktail I reduced to 2 oz rum and used ½ oz Chambord and ⅓ oz raspberry syrup. Nice drink for the sweet tooth.

Was a good option for a friend who prefers sweeter drinks. Rather than a raspberry syrup, I used a mix of framboise and the syrup from good maraschino cherries. But I retained the silly garnish idea, for which my friends roundly derided me. LOL

Made homemade raspberry syrup and decided to make this drink with it. Not my favourite. While the appealing raspberry notes were there, the 75ml of rum was just too spirit forward for me. Definitely have to reduce it the next time I'm making this, or increase the syrup. I do note that I didn't do the crushed ice on top. Also, the mandarin liqueur (in place of the Curaçao) just disappeared.

I make this with 2oz light rum (Flor de Cana), 1/2oz spiced rum and a half barspoon of raspberry jam instead of syrup.
Delish, and something that kicks back way too easily.

Love this drink. Maybe it's just my raspberry syrup, but making it to-the-recipe in my opinion it needs a little more sweetness/color/complexity. Adding 1/6 oz grenadine does the trick!

I made it with a homemade syrup recipe from a different website. Now I'm seeing that you actually have a recipe here, which looks a lot more concentrated - will have to try that next time!

What brand raspberry of syrup did use or was it homemade?

I enjoyed this very much. Sweet (but not too sweet) boozy and great to look at.

Not much of a ‘fruity’ fan but absolutely loved this. Too easy to ‘see it off’ quickly but it will soon have you wobbling!!!
