Curated a bit including correcting the spelling of the name to "Kaieteur" (which comes from a huge waterfall in Guyana). Other online recipes have the lime juice at 1/2 oz, and also include grated nutmeg as an additional garnish. (I don't have access to the Smuggler's Cove book now to verify.)

First edition of the book has the misspelled "Kaiteur" twice (once in the drink title and once in the statement "Named for the breathtaking Kaiteur Falls in Guyana.")

The recipe is already correct to what is printed in the book (no nutmeg, 3/4 oz lime).

Thanks @noksagt. Since the misspelling is from the horse's mouth, I'll revert this entry to it, and just leave these comments for the satisfaction of my fellow pedants.

For whatever it is worth, yelp photos of the menu have this spelled as "Kaieteur" and omit nutmeg, but are also reasonably recent compared to the 2010 Bon Apetit iteration. I can't find pictures of the drink in the bar to see what they actually serve.
