However, I have a recipe here that I posted previously that is much closer to the Sazeracs. Having the John Taylor's around helped make this one much better. I'll get even better on the next batch: zest from 3 limes juice from small lime 24 cloves 1/8 TSP almond extract 1 cup white rum Put all of these into a container and cover and let sit for 24 hours. Strain out the mixture and add 2 3/4 cups of Rock Candy Syrup. Add 3 level Tablespoons of cloves and whip into mixture. Let sit 12 hours. Strain and enjoy. STILL not as clove-y as the Taylor's. But closer.
