History

Rum adds bittersweet notes with rich cherry and lemon freshness.

This recipe is adapted from a creation by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails in 2025. Mr Clapham stated, "Devised to improve upon the far sweeter Pinto listed in Pioneers of Mixing (1934), since rum works complements Cherry Heering so well in the Ankle Breaker (a 50s concoction from Beachbum Berry's Remixed)."
