Description

This drink is a classic combo of Caribbean flavors—the spice of falernum, bitters, lime and molasses-rich rum—making it similar to a Dark ’n’ Stormy, sans the spicy kick of ginger. The recipe varies depending on geographic preferences: American versions go heavy on rum, while the Barbadian blueprint specifies a heavier hand with the Velvet Falernum. Either way, we like lots of bitters per Brad Thomas Parsons’ recommendation in Bitters.
