Rum Runner

Description

Two rums give the Rum Runner a broader base for banana, blackberry, pineapple and orange. Fresh lime is the sharp note that holds the fruit together, with banana and blackberry lingering after the tropical juices. Order it when you want a full, layered rum punch with a ripe fruit finish.
