Day 24: "Bacardi Special"

This next drink is named after the famous rum brand. Next up on the 30-Day Challenge: the Bacardi Special!

Here’s the recipe I used (taken from DrinksMixer.com):

2 oz light rum (Bacardi Superior Rum)
3/4 oz gin (Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin)
1/2 oz lime juice (Tantillo Lime Juice)
1 dash grenadine syrup (Rose’s Grenadine Syrup)
1 tsp sugar

Shake all ingredients with ice until cold. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Serve in any type of glassware. It’s usually served with a lime peel, or a cherry, if desired.

Personal tasting notes: This drink was WAY too strong! It tasted like rubbing alcohol, since there isn’t anything to mix the alcohol with really except, lime juice, grenadine, and sugar. I took one taste, and I was DONE. Never again. Yuck!
