A home enthusiast with a passion for all things tiki! Rum is my favourite poison, but I also love Whiskey, Brandy and just about every other spirit. I'm fairly new to cocktail making but I quickly fell in love with it and enjoy the pursuit of finding my new favourite libation. Cheers! ...

Editor's Note

A bold El Presidente riff that swaps in funky, overproof Jamaican rum. Dry vermouth and curaçao temper the spirit, with a whisper of cranberry for color and tartness.

This sounds like a fantastic refreshing sip my friend. A rum martini is something I havent tried, but now I must. What other rums do you recommend for this if I can't get my hands on that bottle?

This looks fantastic! Using Wray & Nephew in a stirred drink is such a bold and brilliant move. We'd love to know how you make your Cranberry Syrup if you have a recipe to share!
