mmm, for the best rum
... the best rum cocktail
This is an old Bajan recipe, to die for.
Barbados Rum Cocktail
1 of sour -- lime cordiale; traditional-- fresh squeezed lime juice
2 of sweet -- sugar water; traditional-- 'filernum' (more rum!)
3 of strong -- awesome rum
4 of weak -- water
secret ingredient: angostura bitters, splashes to taste
served on ice, stirred
*sugar water is 50/50 sugar & water, boiled to syrup
