Recipe Notes

So why do I split the rums with different years? When I want to get a bit more of the molasses characteristics from the Rum, I will use Havana Club's 7 yr Rum, but to still keep it light and fresh, I mix it with the 3 yr edition.  It's all about balance!

If you're looking to cut down on the sugar content for this cocktail, make sure to read through my post about how infusing roasted peaches in a bath of Coco Lopez can save the day!
