I accidentally made the original recipe of this and found it tough to choke down–I made some tweaks and it was fantastic…then I saw in the original post where I found the recipe, a modified recipe and it was great too…this is the formula I settled on: 

3 ounces Koloa Gold or Mount Gay Eclipse rum

1 ounce lime juice

1/2 ounce Velvet Falernum (never heard of it? you have been missing out!)

1/2 ounce dry curacao (i haven’t tried this drink with anything else, but I think Cointreau, Grand Marnier or triple sec would also work; cold-glass calls for Clement Creole Shrubb which I never even heard of but I’m guessing it’s the best)

1/4 simple syrup

Chill your glasses. Shake this with ice. Strain into two glasses and enjoy. This is my new favorite cocktail…
