Last night I made up 2 rum drinks from the last few days. The first one is supposedly an Argentinian drink, but call me dubious.
Ingredients: gold rum (I used Bacardi), apricot brandy, pineapple juice, and a dribble of lime. This morning I couldn't tell you how it tasted, except sweet. Pineapple juice tends to overwhelm everything you mix it with. I like fresh pineapple, just not the juice.
The second drink called for a sugar cube (from my red and white Russian china sugar bowl that rarely gets opened) muddled with lime, then calvados and a little less light rum (Bacardi) stirred with ice.
I like calvados, but it didn't work with the rum for me, and the muddled lime and sugar didn't contribute much. This drink has potential, but it needs tweaking.
