Generously flavoured, bittersweet, sweet 'n' sour and Daiquiri-like

Tried this on a whim, and very glad. It is flavourful and refreshing. Must be made with a black rum to get that faint rum funk flavour. Citrus level perfect for this type of cocktail which slightly resembles a daiquiri. Perhaps might try a few drops of Difford's Daiquiri Bitters next time.

A great idea. I've tried, agree, and have added. Many thanks, John.

Since submitting my comment, we did add two drops of Difford's Daiquiri Bitters to the second half of the drink. For a full drink I would say 3 to 4 drops. It did soften the sharpness of the lime juice and make the cocktail a bit smoother.

I really rate this one, it's on my list of top cocktails. The proportions are about perfect for my taste. I use Plantation Original Dark Rum, and that seems to work very well.

Tasty! I reckon it'd be even better with a little less lime, which overwhelms the other ingredients. Will give it a go with 15ml lime juice if I make it again.

Very nice Daquiri ‘plus’ recipe. The honey herb and slight bitterness from the Benedictine and amaro provide interesting extra depth. Yum!

I used Myer's and Averna, all that I had on hand. I might up the acidity a bit next time, but overall pleasant and unexpected!
