Well this has quickly gone to my favorites

I like my rum. I used myers dark rum fot this whixh worked well. Made it again but added 25ml of Rockstar Grapefruit Grenade Spiced Rum. It combined beautifully to make a well rounded tasting grapefruit cocktail, especially if you like your stronger cocktails.

Closest rum available for me was some Pussers Gunpowder. Worked fine on a first pass, but taking a cue from a regal daiquiri by adding a good hunk of grapefruit zest to the shake kind of lifted this for me. A big spritz of lime and grapefruit essential oils at the end gives a big of additional grip which sits well with the way the overproof rum opened up.

Tried it with Goslings : great alternative to the classic daiquiri if you have a spare grapefruit. Nice balance between fruit and rum, less boozy than the standard version, loved it.

Being big rum drinkers, we really wanted to like this, but it fell a bit flat for us. The citrus was a bit overpowering to our tastes. It was dry which was good. After the first sip, added a 151 float, which improved it slightly. I like my rum drinks with a strong rum flavour, and this did not do that for me.

Fabulous. Seems simple but the ingredients really work well together. Shows of the strengths of a dark rum so try it out on your favourites

Hmmm, interesting. Not sure if I like it just yet. May need to tweak the citrus a bit to balance the very strong rum flavor (used Kraken). Alternatively, I may try a different rum and see how that goes. It's definitely worth experimenting with, if only to have a good option for something with rum as the primary spirit.

This was absolutely delicious and I would definitely have it again. Next time I’ll put a touch more grapefruit juice in it.
