Notes: Stronger than before, this drink may look pleasant and unassuming, but hides a strong determination.

BG Notes: It seems like adding Rum and removing Perrier would't change the make up of this drink too much, but it's a surprisingly biting drink. The Maraschino liquer I used is a little on the sweet side, so I would even suggest going with a brand with less sugar for a more adult tasting drink.

I think my image of Kakyoin is always a little different than most people, since I tend to think of him as the determined individual at the end of the arc, and the darkness we see that he's capable of at the beginning.
