Redrum

Stir Navy Strength Rum (Preferably A Jamaican-Heavy Blend), Campari, Cherry Heering, Orange Liqueur with ice. Strain into a rocks glass.

For the Redrum, a microplane grater is ideal for lime zest, though you can peel a lime and remove the pith before expressing it into your mixing glass. Just drop in the peel and stir; avoid letting any zest end up in the final drink. Originally crafted with Smith & Cross Navy Strength Jamaican rum, this cocktail also works well with Hamilton Navy Strength or other blends rich in Jamaican rum. I’ve experimented with Plantation Original Dark and Rich (OTFD) for a milder version and Denizen Merchant’s Reserve for a bolder one. Both work splendidly. Adjust the measurements accordingly: 1.5 oz for Hamilton Navy Strength (114 Proof) 2 oz for Denizen Merchant's Reserve (86 Proof) 1 oz for Plantation Original Dark and Rich (OTFD)
