Notes
The original recipe has more lemon juice. I find that cutting back lets more of the spiced rum come forward
History
I was looking for a cocktail to drink during the movie Casablanca in preparation and as background to streaming Monsieur Spade on Netflix before I realized that I should have been watching The Maltese Falcon.
