Then use: 1oz above mix 1oz aged rum 1oz another aged rum 1oz lime juice (freshly squeezed) Shake hard with crushed ice into a DoF glass. Garnish with lime shell and mint sprig. Sip your way to Nirvana. The real joy is experimenting with the 2 rums. I particularly like 1oz Havana Club 7 + 1oz Clement Select Barrel. Or 1oz Appleton Estate 12yo + Havana Club Anejo. Or... Or... etc.
