Notes
I just edited this to reorganize the ingredients and changed some of the directions to make them easier for me to follow. I also doubled the amount of rum, almond, and lemon, because I did that accidentally this year and it turned out really nicely. :) If you want to see the old version, click on the history link above the page title to see the list of past revisions.
