Purple Jade 2 oz top shelf white rum (eg, Flor de Cana Extra Dry, Orinoco, etc.) 1 oz Parfait Amour 1/4 oz White Creme de Cacao 1/4 oz Chambord Sqeeze of lemon Put ice in a cocktail shaker, Cut about 1/6 lemon wedge from a fresh lemon and squeeze the lemon juice into the shaker. Add ingredients, shake and strain into a martini cocktail glass. One thing I have discovered about Parfait Amour is that it does not age well, at least the Marie Brizzard variety. After it has been opened a while it starts to develop a kind of soapy taste. Very good when fresh, though. Not something to be used sparingly and kept around for a long time.
