Rum Fruit Cup (Difford's Cup No.4)

There's a splash of cola in this fruit cup, and the classic marriage of rum and cola sings out in this flavoursome, summery, almost tropical fruit cup...

My second favourite Fruit Cup. The gin is better by quite a way, but I love the interaction of the rum with the rest of the flavours. I used Havana Club 3 with a tiny dash of Appleton Reserve Blend. I wonder about a rum combo version of the Rum Fruit Cup (think moderately aged rum like the Havana Club 3 with something funky and Jamaican).

Quite sweet indeed. 3/4 oz lime juice makes it better

Hi, I am about to run out of Pierre Ferrand and was thinking of trying a different Curacao, however I noticed a very broad spread of ABVs.in your top 10, some as low as 25%
What would you do with the recipe with lower ABV Curacao? Or should I just get the PF again

I'd recommend Pierre Ferrand or another with a similar alc./vol. and sugar.

Quite sweet, like it a lot with 2 cl fresh lime juice

I used a frozen strawberry; figured it would add to the chill.
Am I actually supposed to taste the citrus slices and fruit?
No shaking, no muddling...

The fruit is more for garnish than flavour.
