Review:
There's a splash of cola in this fruit cup, and the classic marriage of rum and cola sings out in this flavoursome, summery, almost tropical fruit cup. Light golden rum seems to work best, but light white and aged rums also make great fruit cups.

What would you do with the recipe with lower ABV Curacao? Or should I just get the PF again
Am I actually supposed to taste the citrus slices and fruit?
