A "Sailor Jerry" spiced rum night, tonight:
1) Neat, on the rocks.
2) A spiced rum Cuba Libre.
3) Finally, a cocktail of my own making: 2 measures of Sailor Jerry spiced rum, 1 measure of Cointreau, 1/2 measure of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, 1/2 measure fresh lime juice. Shaken with ice, and served in a chilled martini glass, with a sugared rim.
I've read a lot about the new Sailor Jerry rum, and that it's not as good as the original recipe. My thoughts are that the new mix is OK, but I would probably opt for a Havana Club (7 yr old), given the choice again.

Sound very similar to a Boston Sidecar: equal parts rum, brandy (instead of maraschino liqueur), Cointreau, fresh lime juice. But yours seems very intriguing~
