Jet Pilot
If you take all of the rum and juices into account, the Jet Pilot is the epitome of a tropical drink. Then, there are the interesting flavour accents - cinnamon, bitters, anise - that make this cocktail intriguing to the taste buds and an extraordinary frozen drink. The combination of three styles of rum is key to making the Jet Pilot. There are also options available for the anise liqueur. While many people choose to go with Pernod or Herbsaint, there are an array of absinthes available to choose from. Whichever you go with, remember to keep the anise in check as it can easily overpower the drink's flavour.
