King's Jubilee
If there is such a thing as a 'Rum Aviation', then this is surely it. The proportions of the original 1935 recipe stipulate equal amounts of maraschino...

Nice with a 49 proof agricole French white rhum.

Swap the rum for cachaça and you'll have an amazing drink too

Like Jose Cruz said, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur seems to bury the rum (Plantation 3 Stars in my case). Might try this again with more rum or less liqueur... (An extra 5 ml of rum helped, but need to play around with it more...) @Simon, I wonder if there's a particular rum that you'd recommend for this cocktail?

I use my own 50:50 blend of Bacardi Limited Edition Heritage (44.5% alc./vol.) and Bacardi Carta Blanca (37.5% alc./vol.).

Luxardo dominates, not much complexity, subtle rum.

I am never sure why searching for “King’s” or even the full name doesn’t find this (not even as an option) only if you search for “Jubilee” does it come up?

Not all apostrophes are created equal and so can cause an issue with our site search. However, I've added an alias so cocktail should now display when you search for "Kings Jubilee" - hopefully with or without an apostrophe.

Really liked this cocktail. Easy to drink and great balance. Glad you adjusted the lemon juice because the level of sourness was perfect.

Outstanding. Subtle taste of the rum and perfectly balanced. Would do again. Here, simple works great. Classic.

I quite liked this simple, Old School cocktail, just not sure I will revisit it soon.
