Cuban Cocktail No. 2


Today we had our 3 grandsons here in the afternoon.  We enlisted their help to get candy ready for the trick-or-treaters on Halloween. I think they really enjoyed the candy adventure. The drink of the day turned out to be - a  'Cuban Cocktail No. 2'.

The recipe (page no. 70 from the Bartender's Guide):

Juice of 1/2 lime or 1/4 lemon (I used a Meyer Lemon)
1/2 oz Apricot Brandy (LeRoux)
1 1/2 oz Brandy (St. Remy)
1 teaspoon Rum  (Bacardi)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with an orange slice (I had some fresh oranges).

It was a very good drink!

Cheers.
