La Floridita

To friends and family in the North, we’re thinking of you and stay warm!  If you’re snowed in, this cocktail will help the time fly.  Think of us when you sip this lovely taste of the tropics.

By the way, how do you like my new medieval torture device?  Nah, just kidding!  It’s my brand new handy dandy Art + Cook citrus reamer.  This is one serious reamer.  It must be at least a pound of bright, shiny chrome-like zinc.

Love it!

La Floridita
(AKA The Floridita Daiquiri)
makes 2

4 ounces rum
juice of 1 lime
3 – 4 ounces grapefruit juice
1 ounce Luxardo maraschino liqueur
1 – 2 teaspoons Grenadine (for color like a tropical sunset)
2 lime wheel slices

Combine all except for the lime slices in a shaker.  Shake.  Divide between two couple glasses.  Garnish each glass with a lime slice.

Cheers!
