  • I only had Cynar 70, so lowered to .75 given it already had boozy 151. Also served with a big rock - could benefit from a little more dilution. Tasty. Want to try with S&C as noted.
  • Didn't have Punt e Mes on hand so it was a bit sweet. Also curious to try it out with the suggest S&C/LH151 split.
  • Intense as you'd expect, but actually also quite drinkable if you go slow. (Subbed hop bitters for grapefruit.) I think the sweetness of the Hamilton 151 rum is holding its own against all the bitter ingredients.
  • Need to try this with variation
  • Very bitter, slow drinking, excellent. Sweet, complex with all ingredient evident. Excellent with Smith & Cross. Easy on the Regans' lest it dominate. Maybe best on the rocks. — ★★★★

Butters commented on 5/08/2011:

This drink is insanely wonderful if you modify it by replacing the overproof rum with 3/4 ounce smith & cross and 3/4 ounce Lemon Hart 151.

Curated slightly to reflect the Beta Cocktails recipe, which calls for "1 oz Demerara 151 rum".

Made this according to the suggestions in these comments (3/4 each of LH151 and Smith & Cross, killing off my bottle of S&C. RIP). Wow. This one's for lovers of huge flavors and huge rums. 5/5.
