Some cocktails have AWESOME names! Zombie, Corpse Reviver, One Among the Fence ( ;*] ), Bloody Mary, French 75. These titles are storied and complex. No so much for today's cocktail however, as we examine one of the world's few copywritten cocktails: The Bacardi Cocktail.

Bacardi Cocktail:
- 2 oz. Bacardi Rum (See note below)
- 1 oz. Lime Juice
- 3/4 oz. Grenadine (Must be REAL grenadine)
Garnish with lime wheel or expressed lime peel.

Note: I would recommend using an unaged Bacardi Superior here, rather than the ocho. The flavors will be less meddled-with without the influence of the aged spirit.
