Orange and rum with a hint of ginger spice. Long and thirst-quenching

I made it with Thomas Henry. The result was a very drinkable, comparatively thick, intense drink. Appleton 12 Rare Casks was rather restrained and somewhat masked by the ginger beer. Havana Club 7 anos was incredibly good with coffee and caramel notes and a bit more sweetness. Go for a young rum, the indication here of 6-8 years is pretty good. And I recommend, really try it with the Havana Club 7 anos. Dave Brooms's recommends it for mixing with ginger beer in "Rum. The Manual" and he es right.

I must have missed something here. I just read your comment moments after making this with Havana Club 7 anos and Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao. I think it might be the ginger beer I used, Fever Tree brand. The 'coffee and caramel notes' you mentioned weren't immediately apparent, but now I can subtly taste them. I guess I'll have to revisit this drink.
