The tic tac taxi!

I've used the new 75% abv white Velier 151 rum I have for this (I wanted a recipe that used unaged pot-still overproof which is what led me to this thread). The recipe listed above was:

1.5 golden rum
1/2 oz high strength white Jamaican rum
3/4 oz lime juice
1/2 oz coconut cream (for this, I use the solidified stuff at the top of a can of coconut milk)
1/2 oz passion fruit syrup (I used peach syrup because I think it switches in for passion fruit fine, and this particular one is really tasty)

Shaken with ice and open poured into this glass here.

So to start with this was REALLY dry - I think maybe because the rum in using is stronger than Wray & Nephew and the extra alcohol is making the over-dryness happen.

Anyway, I added about another oz of coconut and another half oz of syrup, as I thought it needed to be both more creamy and sweeter.

It ended up being very good indeed, the best tasting drink I've made so far with coconut.
