8:3:2 with plantation 3 stars. I’m in heaven.

Wonderful balance, but a tough ratio to remember and then figure out how to convert into measurements (at least for those of us not using metric). Great proportions of citrus and sweetness - if you want to taste the rum use something bold, if not use a mild-mannered white rum.

The drink of drinks.

One of the greatest simple cocktails out there, and it's easy to vary with different rums, demerara syrup, bitters and other additions without spoiling it. The classic one can elevate a cheap rum or highlight an expensive one.

Replacing the white rum based on molasses with an overproof agricultural rum from Martinique/Guadeloupe/Reunion adds a whole new olfactory dimension and creates something between a daiquiri and a ti'punch, a daipunch or a tiquiri! Give it a try!

Just perfect.

Simon…i had the privilege of a chat a month or two ago regarding a shaker I bought…great customer service and lovely advice on Rum. Just made with this blend having tried maybe 20 clear rum comparisons in last 6 months (?) and your recipe is the best…of course…thank you. Nothing beats a daiquiri. Full stop.!

Nice!
Added 12 drops of bobs daiquiri bitters. Recommends 8, thought I’d push it a bit. Really nice. Sour, nice bit of sweetness. Australian Beenleigh 3yr white rum. Superb
