We do bring some agri grade rum home sometimes but otherwise, this drink is a wonderful reminder of our vacation time.

Clement rhum is widely available in the USA. The green-label bottling best suits this cocktail.

Thanks for the tip - I checked on the website but it's not available in the PA liquor stores. Perhaps we could find that brand in Maryland or New Jersey, or I can also check online for a stateside distributor. Pennsylvania is a difficult state for spirits - they are limited in what they will import or allow to be imported to private homes. That being said, having the name of a good substitute for Trois Rivieres that they frequently use on the island is awesome - thank you!!!
