Hey Chris, I finally came up with a good name for your cocktail. Call it:

"Keep that crap away from my Bourbon."

Hope this helps...
Although rum is versatile, it is this kind of experimentation that gives rum a bad name. Unfortunately, people think rum itself is sweet. As soon as I am done with Dry January, I am going to start posting some less sweet cocktails, or just some samples on the rocks.
 
Almost my last night before the ferry home. The scallops were still pulsating in their shells before sautéing in butter. The mussels were sublime and despite common wisdom, a lightly chilled Brouilly takes some beating.

I did say I wouldn't waste my time shucking scallops again, but one taste changed me back again.

Went out to photograph the moon tonight over the bastions of Valletta but it was cloudy. So decided to have a Negroni in the hotel bar at the Phoenicia Hotel instead.
