The success of this cocktail is all about striking the perfect balance between the strength of the rum, fruity sweetness of the liqueur and sugar syrup...
We served this straight up, no ice except that in the shaker. We dislike 'frozen' cocktails...too much dilution and the bottom of the drink invariably tastes like puddle water. Anyway, when we added 10ml Myers's Original Dark things started to happen in a lovely way.
