Dinogo Community Feedback and Praise

"I made a large batch, and it was a total hit at my party. I used some really great rums: Vizcaya Cristal, 7-year Flor de Caña, and Blue Chair Bay coconut rum," shares Carina.

"So delicious! It transported me right back to the beach in Negril. I swapped out the 151 for regular white rum, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. It paired perfectly with jerk chicken and Caribbean rice & beans. I'll definitely be making this again," says brooke138.
