Made it today (St. Patrick's Day) only because it's green and ended up enjoying it a lot! The Irish whiskey makes a lot of sense here, rounding out the freshness of the other ingredients. I don't see this cocktail working as well with scotch or bourbon. Would recommend it to anyone who's looking for something ludic and tasty to celebrate.
I tried this one with a dash of Turkish Tobacco Bitters (Fee Brothers), and it turned out to be one of the most unique experiences I've ever had with any beverage. Made it with Eldorado 8 (1) and Goslings (2/3). The specs are spot on—absolutely astonishing!
I made this with Smith & Cross and wouldn't recommend it. Unfortunately, it was too funky, resulting in an unbalanced cocktail. Will try it with another rum next time.
