Sithspit commented on 5/29/2025:

It’s nice, and there’s potential here but it’s pretty sweet. Personally, I’d scale back the amaro and liqueurs a bit to let the shochu shine a bit more.

Bungle in the Jungle

1 oz Overproof rum, Plantation O.F.T.D.
1 oz Mango Rum
1 oz CioCiaro
1 oz Lime juice
2 oz Orange juice
Instructions

Shake, serve over crushed ice in tiki mug or Collins glass. Garnish with lime wheel and an amarena cherry.

Notes

I made this with a homemade rum-based mango liqueur which is on the sweet side. Commercial mango rums may need a simple-syrup adjustment.
