Used DMF"s spiced rum as it was the only one I had. Tempered the sweetness with Angostura bitters and orange zest...my goodness, that works!

Really enjoyed this sweet cocktail. It might be making it more sweet, but I added a charred piece of pineapple as a garnish. That hit a special note for us. I made this with a homemade falernum that really found brought a wonderful taste. When making this, I leaned in with a hint more ginger and it was fantastic.

Truly delightful. I love the combination of orange and spices, plus the rich rum as the foundation. Bitters do add a touch of balance to the sweetness. A new favourite.

Agree on the sweetness, increased the rum. Flavors are really nice.

Also found it a bit sweet, also added 4 drops of orange bitters. I did like the blend of flavours in the original recipe, but found the one with the orange bitters also very flavourful.

I needed to add a dash of orange bitters to balance out as I found this to be too sweet, otherwise lovely festive cocktail I’ll keep in rotation.

Anyone tried to sub the clove-muddling faff with Taylor's falurnum?

Thanks Andy - that's a great call. I've revisited and amended the recipe acordingly.
