I have no idea if Tiki Ti uses it, having never been there (darn it), but for some reason I kind of doubt it. Don't ask why, just a hunch.

Why? (Just kidding Rob.)

Since you're more of a Mai Kai kind of guy, do you think they use gum syrup?

And yes, I think the name Rum Gum & Lime is considered to refer to the basic drink construction from the same lineage as the daiquiri, grog, etc. One if by land, two if by sea, three make it strong and four give it to me. Something like that.

The Sippin recipe follows that scheme, but yeah there's something unique about the Tiki Ti version. I hope it's not Sprite - that would make this whole series of posts a little embarrassing. But I'd still stand by my love of the Tiki Ti Rum Gum & Lime!
