Love your site. The ingredient list calls for golden rum, the description describes dark rum. Which one should I use?

Thanks, Tucker. I used Havana 3, so more accurately a golden rather than dark rum, a rum with a little age and character.

Nice riff on a Jack Rose. A bit less tart with the added orange juice. I used Mt Gay Black Barrel for the rum and the split base with applejack was very complementary.
