For those who do not like the funk of Jamaican rum, you may want to try with an over proof white agricole rhum. I used Neisson Rhum Blac from Martinique at 110 per cent proof. While missing the touch of funk, the Martinique Sunset was refreshing.
Had this again with a California Bourbon which added a slight spicy (savoury; not hot) touch to the after taste. Left out the syrup to make the final cocktail dryer. Wonderful. Getting elevated up to my favourite cocktails.
Wonderful cocktail. There is the herbal hints from the vermouth and gin while the pineapple juice adds touches of a tiki style drink. Dry but the juice adding a nice sweetness.
