Not a lot of love for the Gold Cup on this thread---but I love it! The secret--as other posters have mentioned--is the right ingredients, exact precision, and enough shaking to get the thing nice and cold.

A drink I didn't care for in the past but came around for me with an ingredient change is the Montego Bay. It calls for Lime, Grapefruit, Honey, Dark Jamaican Rum and Pimento Liqueur. When I made it with Coruba, Myers's, or Appleton 12 year, it was too sweet and the flavors didn't blend right. Not good. The change that made it great was Blackwell Rum. It brought in just enough dryness, and let the honey/pimento/grapefruit combo really shine.
