One part of a tiki flight, I was recommended to try this this based on the raspberries.
While the recipe as written requires a pacojet, I don't have $5000 just to get deliciously drunk. I tried an ice cream maker to make the slush instead with fantastic results. The instructions say to freeze the mix and rum separately and process together, but a spin in the ice cream maker brought it to just enough slush for a small batch.
The real winner here is the recommended rum. My first "drink until you hurl" experience was with coconut rum, and I've avoided the spirit ever since. The Zaya Gran Reserva aged rum has really caught me by the nose, however. It has just enough molasses to be delicious, and the aging has mellowed it considerably compared to its frat-boy cousin. I'll definitely be stocking this as a rum of choice (unless the book turns up something even better).
