You and I may argue a lot and get nowhere regarding
the proper pronunciation of the word Bacardi, but after
sampling this cocktail, there'll be no argument as to its
effect and authority. It is by far the best way to sewe
sugar cane rum, whether bottled in New England, Cuba,
Jamaica, Puerto Rico, or Louisiana.
In making a Bacardi cocktail be sure to use lime, not
lemon, and put no grenadine or other flavored s^p into
the mixture. When you shake a Bacardi, frappc it long
and well, for it must be served very cold to get the de
licious flavor of the rumbullion.
Bacardi rum received its name from the Bacardi family
of Cuba, well-known distillers and bottlers at Santiago of
this particular brand. The correct pronunciation is ha-
car-di.
Daiquiri Cocktail
1 teaspoon grenadine sirup
1 lime—juice only
1 jigger rum
Like the Bacardi, the Daiquiri should be well shaken; lime juice,
not lemon, should be used to furnish the tang. The grenadine
sweetens the cocktail and gives it color. Shake well with ice and
strain into the serving glass.
The Daiquiri, like the Bacardi, is a Cuban importation
and is very popular mHavana as well as New Orleans.
