3⁄4 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
3⁄4 oz Navy strength rum, Smith & Cross
1⁄2 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
3⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
1 oz Lime juice
Instructions
Shake all ingredients, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime twist or lime wheel.
Notes
Due to the amount of bitters used, this drink is pretty flexible with the rum choices. I've used Goslings, Hamilton Jamaican Black, Mt. Gay Black, Coruba, etc. without splitting the base with Smith & Cross to good effect. I've also used 1 oz of a high proof rum like Hamilton Demerara 151 by itself. Using all Cruzan Blackstrap was too much of a good thing for me, so I would split that with another dark rum. If you don't have the allspice dram, just use 1 oz demerara syrup.
