#8.1 Fluffy Ruffles- Copycat of Little Princess

How sensible that the Fluffy Ruffles would have a name equally as ridiculous as the Little Princess, since it's the same drink. Yet another copycat spotted. The only difference is that the Fluffy Ruffles gets some lime rind. Both are equal parts rum and dry vermouth, and both are terrifying. I consider this one tested as I was sure to slice up some lime when we tried the Little Princess, thinking that if nothing else it would help the rum go down a little smoother. It did not.

I should probably be trying some of these with white rum, as I think that's the preferred method. But, I might not. Mixing rum with vermouth, no matter the color of the rum or the vermouth, just strikes me as a horrible idea, so I have a hard time imaging it improving with any substitution, other than, of course, swapping out the vermouth for ginger ale.
