Notes

The Drizly of Prohibition, this blended cocktail tastes best under the cover of night.

The first time I made one, it was too sweet. I've tweaked this version slightly, dialing down the liqueurs (simplifying the measurements in the process) and added a little brandy to even things out. I also upped the rum a bit, accounting for the fact that the column still overproof I use, Privateer Navy Yard, is 110 proof, not 151.
