We suspect that when there is a combination of citrus, the drink benefits from a bit of patience to allow them to harmonise. This one certainly got better and better for us as we headed for the bottom of the glass.

Very good.. I tried with Myers's and Gosling's, and I think I liked the latter a bit better.

I like my rum. I used myers dark rum fot this whixh worked well. Made it again but added 25ml of Rockstar Grapefruit Grenade Spiced Rum. It combined beautifully to make a well rounded tasting grapefruit cocktail, especially if you like your stronger cocktails.

Closest rum available for me was some Pussers Gunpowder. Worked fine on a first pass, but taking a cue from a regal daiquiri by adding a good hunk of grapefruit zest to the shake kind of lifted this for me. A big spritz of lime and grapefruit essential oils at the end gives a big of additional grip which sits well with the way the overproof rum opened up.

Tried it with Goslings : great alternative to the classic daiquiri if you have a spare grapefruit. Nice balance between fruit and rum, less boozy than the standard version, loved it.

Being big rum drinkers, we really wanted to like this, but it fell a bit flat for us. The citrus was a bit overpowering to our tastes. It was dry which was good. After the first sip, added a 151 float, which improved it slightly. I like my rum drinks with a strong rum flavour, and this did not do that for me.
