  This tasted delicious. However, I did struggle to find the types of Rum named and had to make do with a spiced rum and normal white rum. Also, as a novice cocktail maker I would have found a proper measurement more helpful - a bottle and a half is a bit confusing as Rum comes in many bottle sizes! Would definitely make again though!

  I didn't follow the recipe to the letter as i couldn't afford the over-proof rum being a student and all. Made it with supermarket brand rum and didn't have any elderflower cordial in but it was one amazing tasting cocktail non the less will definitely be getting some elderflower in and try it again!

  I wanted to try this recipe out prior to my party, so divided the quantities by 15 (assuming 70 cL bottles of rum). The result was delicious but quite boozy (used ordinary dark rum plus the overproof rum) - and yielded half a pint of cocktail without ice. I will likely need to add a bit more ginger beer to make it palatable to my friends, though I have to say the more I had, the better it tasted! Couldn't get Mexican honey so I substituted Romanian lime blossom honey (taste the difference), which went nicely with the lime/elderflower flavours. It was hard to get the honey to dissolve in the liquid (bottles were chilled), so will probably gently warm the honey and dissolve it into the lime juice in advance next time.

  WOW this is lovely. Very strong, its seemed to taste better the more we drank, or is that because we were getting quite squiffy lol. Like an earlier comment with the honey i squeezed the limes into a plastic jug added the honey and mixed together i then put it in the microwave on high for 30secs, this warmed the honey slightly and i then was able to mix the two completely then i added it to the pitcher. I would definitely make it again. this weekend im making Jose's Garden also on this site.
