Pretty dull and insipid fare. Another algorithmic cocktail from Mr Clapham. It is intuition and imagination that give birth to great cocktails. You'd think we would have learned by now. No more Mr Claptrap (as Dickens might have named him)!

Excellent with Smith & Cross and amaro Santoni. Especially as the ice melted.

Really enjoyed this - good enough that I think I may need to permanently keep a half bottle of cream sherry about the house.

A very good drink indeed. Don't skip the orange twist on this one, it really elevates and brightens the drink.

That is a /very/ interesting taste. It is, as you expect, Jamaican funk but that closes to the sherry notes I still to this day associate with my great-aunt's trifle. A lot less bam bam bam rum funk than I was expecting.

Well, I made this with an olorosso sherry from Sainsbury's, something labelled 'Jamaican rum' I found in my in-laws booze cabinet and 'Fernet Hunter' which kind of tastes like a reined in, drinkable, angostura bitters. Which probably makes this a completely different cocktail, but hey, it came out quite light and dry and fresh, so I'm happy. Maybe it's a 'Nonbloom'

Tried this with Lustau Cream Solero sherry from Mark's & Spencer. Fantastic.

Lustau East India Solera recommended. A lot of cream sherry is pretty ropey.
