Funky rum and zesty citrus tamed and refreshed by being served over ice chippings

I used the extra funky Doctor Bird in this one and it was great

This is exactly how I like my cocktails! All about the base spirit with some lovely supporting flavours in the background. I used Hampden 8 years. I think it’s gorgeous. Not too sweet or sour for me and the triple sec is subtle. Don’t have any crushed ice so I just dumped some of my smallest ice cubes in the glass. Works fine.

Found this to be fine with Myers's. My "crushed" ice was more coarse gravel than slushy sand. Increased the volume two thirds and served in a taller glass. The drier barrel flavors gave way to a sweeter orangy flavor towards the end. Nice balance overall.

Finally got back to this again, split the Myers's with S & C. Used Ferrand Dry Curaçao. Truly magnificent!

Absolutely awful with Myers's Rum, served up. I would never strain a cocktail over crushed ice with that little sugar syrup. The quality of this recipe is entirely dependent on the character of the rum.

This was excellent. Used 1/2 Coruba Jamaican Dark rum and 1/2 Smith & Cross Jamaican rum at 114 proof. The Jamaican funk was outstanding and the cocktail was nice and sour. Love the Prohibition era cocktails from Cuba.

Another bottle of Smith & Cross is on my shopping list, thank's John.
