That might have been a problem. Following the old rhyme, you can sub just about anything. An acquaintance originally from Trinidad insists on Mount Gay rum and sticks to the 1:2:3:4 recipe. The "weak" is always water and everything is mixed first and than loaded into a mug full of ice. Plenty of nutmeg on top. I've tried various concoctions: lemon/lime for the sour, grenadine/simple syrup/orgeat for the sweet, dark jamaican/demerara/Barbados rum, water/club soda/fruit juice for the weak. I always go back to plain ol' rum, lime, sugar (demerara simple syrup), water with a splash or two of Angostura bitters. If I make them for someone else, they get loaded with fruit garnish.
