This riff on the classic Knickerbocker trades the original's single rum base for a split of light and funky Jamaican overproof, adding depth and heft to the tropical template. Bright raspberry and warm cinnamon work against sharp lime acidity, while a touch of orange curaçao rounds the edges. The result drinks tart and spiced, with the aged rum's ester-rich character pushing through the fruit.
