This one feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be. All the ingredients go together well, and the drink is pretty balanced, but the mix of all these things means it didn't give me much personality. I think taking something OUT would probably improve it.
Love this variation. It is definitely a tropical cocktail but remains a unique one, and the rye surprised me in this drink. Tart, sweet, bitter, and rich. One of my top five right now. Wouldn't change a thing.
I found this benefited from additional orange bitters. Three dashes instead of one made a surprising difference.
Mildly boozy but refreshing. This is a very good way to feature the funky Smith & Cross in a balanced way, though I used 1/4 oz. instead of 1/2 oz. and it was plenty. Was using Plantation 5 yr. instead of Bacardi, too.
