More reminiscent of a classic prohibition-era cocktail. Bitter yet subtle. Not inspiring, yet not disappointing. I kind of knew what to expect as I compiled the ingredients. If I hadn't been privy to the ingredients beforehand, and had been served this drink at a proper tiki-bar, I may have been let-down. Not quite sure if this drink calls for a repeat. I couldn't do the ice-shell. No shaved ice and crushed didn't work well Ingredients I used: Flor De Cana Extra Dry (light) Rum Dolin Dry Vermouth Martini Italian Vermouth (sweet) Pernod Angostora bitters My completely personal rating: (2) out of *** (5)
