Top tip: Consider experimenting with various rum options, as the diverse styles and flavour profiles can significantly influence the cocktail’s sweetness and balance. Aged rums, for instance, have the tendency to enhance oak-driven nuances such as vanilla and caramel, while unaged, dry rums often emphasise grassy and fruity undertones.
