  • Must Try
  • Made with Creole Shrubb
  • Made with 1/2 S&C and 1/2 Cruzan Blackstrap. Probably the most appealing use of the latter I've had.
  • Like a spicier, oranegy-er daiquiri.

Significantly revised to be less orange, more ginger-forward, spicier, and less sweet.

I like this quite a bit.  It's like a spicier, orangey-er daiquiri. I almost want to throw a little club soda on top of it, cause I'm crude that way.

I subbed the Cointreau with Clement Creole Shrub, which seemed to fit the other ingredients well with an agricole base. As such, I didn't use a high-hogo rum, opting for Gosling's (given the Bermuda homage) and Cruzan Blackstrap. Used Domaine and Canton ginger, Regan's orange bitters. Excellent.
