This was my first cocktail using the new Probitas Green Label (57% ABV) and wow is it a perfect match for this tasty drink.... sorry Pusser's. This is just juice, rum and ango but it is Tiki all day. Orange and cranberry are hard enough to balance on their own, but throwing both into a cocktail takes guts I don't have. I considered adding pimento because natural fruit allies: nope, doesn't need it. Great juicy cocktail perfectly spiced (can go heavy with the bitters). Try it with a rum that won't shout over the drink but still contribute.... high recommend on Probe Green.
After many years, tried this again. Not liking my cocktails sweet, we used unsweetened cranberry juice. Substituted homemade grenadine for the sugar syrup. A little on the tart side, but perfect.
Tasty and refreshing. A float of overproof worked well. Used unsweetened cranberry juice, so upped the sugar syrup just a bit. Had some ginger beer open, tried a little in a side glass, and it was good (new cocktail?) Will try the suggested sub of grenadine next time -make it bloodier.
Packs a fruity punch and you can up the ante by substituting the sugar syrup with 10 ml grenadine (or to taste) which helps with the whole 'blood' theme.
Great, juicy, bright and lightly tart citrus and cranberry. I had some spiced Navy strength rum - delicious in this. A very tasty and refreshing tall cocktail.
Very fresh juicy cocktail, and the taste of Pusser gunpowder proof rum certainly cuts through all the juices, even with "only" 45 ml rum. I had to up the amount of orange juice due to bland oranges at hand. And next time, I shake with more ice cubes to ensure less thining down of the cocktail.
Good call out. I also noticed this drink is more susceptible to dilution than many (also seems to fill a regular collins glass quite easily). Great on pebble ice though.
Tried this with the spiced version of navy strength rum that Pusser's make, it is fantastic. By chance we had warm stollen to eat alongside, actually goes rather well indeed!
Great party night cocktail, normally I do Tiki cocktails at night and this was as good as one well apart from that my husband thinks there are demons out there in the garden, hearing funny noises but let’s not think about this that’s another story
This was wonderful. Being big rum drinkers it was perfect cocktail with a meal or alone. We used an overproof Navy Rum which gave it a little more punch and a little less syrup. Made it delightfully dry with a lot of punch.
An unusual twist on a fruity rum punch, goes down rather too well, the cranberry adds a slight dryness not usually found with tiki type punches. I would however use two full ounces of rum next time!
