Refreshing, and memorable. Coats the insides of your mouth with a nutty quality that leaves a smile on your face (That sentence sounds so wrong!). My wife loved it as well. Ingredients I used: fresh lime juice Lopez coconut cream fresh orange juice Routin 1883 Orgeat Flor De Cana Extra Dry (light) Rum Coruba Dark Rum My only criticism - I'm not exactly sure how one teaspoon of orgeat really provides much to this drink I like orgeat and in the future will try increasing the ratio. I also feel that a strong dark rum is definitely needed here. Last note - This recipe doesn't yield a very large drink - next time I will definitely scale this 50% up.
