Polynesian Cocktail

The 'Polynesian Cocktail' we had tonight sounded like a wonderful drink, evoking thoughts of warm weather: however it tasted a lot like lime juice. Maybe there was too much added. A wonderful color though!

The recipe (page no. 138 from the Bartender's Guide):

1 1/2 oz Vodka (Absolut)
3/4 oz Cherry Brandy (LeRoux)
Juice of 1 Lime

Rub rim of cocktail glass with lime and dip into powdered sugar.
Shake ingredients with ice and strain into prepared glass.

I only dip one half of the glass into the sugar so you could take your choice when drinking (suggestion from the book "In the Land of Cocktails").
