One of the few cocktails I’ve come across named specifically for a Spirit brand. Apparently there was an older version of this cocktail which didn’t call for Bacardi Rum, but when the drink made the jump to the States, a bar bible called Recipes For Mixed Drinks by Hugo Ensslin called for the specific brand in 1917. It’s a tangy, quick to make pick-me-up that I find refreshing.

Here we go –

• ¾ oz lime juice
• tsp. Powdered sugar
• 1 ¾ oz Bacardi White Rum
• couple dashes grenadine

Shake ‘til freezing in a shaker with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with a lime slice.
