daddy's daiq

1 oz Blended White Rum like Kuleana (Hamilton's White Stache)
1/2 oz Overproof Rhum Agricole (Rhum JM 100°)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/3 oz Gum Syrup 2:1 (Sirop JM)
1/4 oz Green Chartreuse
1/4 oz Falernum (Velvet)

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a dried lime wheel (fresh lime wheel).
For National Rum Day two weeks ago, Imbibe posted the recipe for Daddy's Daiq by Daddy Long Legs a/k/a Michael George at Water Witch in Salt Lake City. I had met Daddy Long Legs at Portland Cocktail Week in 2022, so I was intrigued to try this drink that reminded me of a less aggressive Nuclear Daiquiri. In the glass, Daddy's Daiq broadcasted a grassy, lime, and herbaceous aroma. Next, a lime-driven sip gave way to grassy funky rum, herbaceous, and ginger flavors on the swallow.
