Sips & Tips
Technique
This is traditionally a sharing drink — scale up for groups. The orgeat (almond syrup) provides the signature nutty sweetness. Blend briefly with crushed ice for a slushy texture.
Balance
The brandy adds depth that straight rum can't provide. The lime juice is crucial for balance — without enough acidity, this becomes cloyingly sweet.
