The classic tropical drink is taken up a notch.
This has all the recognizable flavors of the cocktail we know and love, with notes of extra oomph and a hint of spice. An even blend of dark and white rums gives this a rich balance of molasses and vanilla flavors. It’s summer in a glass! Get the recipe from Sweet July resident Will Coleman below!
