From the Bartender

The classic planter's rhyme - one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak - is the original formula behind this drink, making it one of the earliest documented cocktail ratios. For added depth and authenticity, swap a portion of the dark rum for an overproof Jamaican rum such as Wray & Nephew.
