Notes
Most versions of this recipe call for blackstrap rum, a molasses-forward rum that will lend more sweetness to the drink. For a lighter drink, you can opt for an aged rum, preferably from Barbados. In this case, you may want to omit or reduce the lime juice to let the rum's flavors come through.
