  • Didn't have Zacapa or other sweet rum so using Plantation O.T.F.D. it was quite tasty after the full 1oz of Brovo Falernum was added in.
  • Try reducing Falernum to 0.75 oz
  • Try this some time.
  • Made with Pyrat XO. Sweet and sour. Really a lot like a whiskey sour with some rumminess. A heavy hand with the bitters wouldn't hurt. — ★★★★

Comments

Nice drink with a daquiri feel. Made with .75 falernum as suggested, felt about right. Used Smith & Cross though which may have been a bit heavy.
