made and gladly enjoyed by Emily

This is a cocktail to be served in a brandy snifter, with a lot of ice.  It's a strong fancy rum drink.... the perfect ending to a long day with the kids! 
For one generous cocktail, you'll need:

2 oz dark rum
1 1/2 oz Liquor 43 

3 sprigs of fresh cilantro
1 lime 

Muddle cilantro and juice from 1/2 lime. 
In shaker filled with ice, combine rum and Liquor 43 and juice from the remaining 1/2 of lime, and shake vigorously.
Fill your glass with muddled cilantro and lime juice, then top with the rum/Liquor 43 from shaker.  Garnish with a piece of lime and serve immediately. 
And relax!

Forgot to mention.... pour all the ice in your glass too. If you need something a little less strong, top with a splash of pineapple juice.

it IS strong but i liked it. very interesting flavors. it didnt taste cilantro-y but i could tell that without it, it wouldve tasted really different. we made them a few times already! love love love the smell of lime and cilantro together as we are making them!

Hi Mandy - Try it with ZAYA RUM, which is a smoother aged rum that is easier to drink than Goslings or other dark rums. I just found that this makes a big difference. (but if it's still too strong, splash some seltzer in there)

This is definitely worth reading; it proved to be very useful to me.
