Very nice sweet cocktail, where you actually can taste the complexity of Italicus. The light rum gives a lift to the liqueur making it more rounded/balanced.

This was very nice with Italicus and SelvaRey.

Made it twice, one time with Veritas, which was pretty sweet and Italicus forward. Second time I used Clairin Communal, already more complex. After that I added some drops of lavender bitters and Lime zest to give it some extra kick 🫣

I’m not a huge rum fan but this nicely preserves the herbal qualities of the italicus, and in fact opens them up. Sweet sour balance spot on for me.

Shook this with Jamaican rum to add a little more complexity. I think it's very appealing as an aperitif.

Very sweet - I bet it could go without the sugar syrup entirely. The Italicus and rum flavor combination is good though. I used Flor de Cana and plan on testing this out again with no syrup and different rums.
