More on the Rum Cocktail
The origin of the Bacardi Cocktail (of which the Rum Cocktail is an adaptation), as with many mixed drinks, is not a straightforward story to tell. George Sinclair picks apart the evolution of a cocktail that is closely entwined with the history of the cuban Daiquiri and its adoption in America through the first half of the 20th century.
Variation: Made with Lemon Juice rather than Lime Juice this is known as a Santiago cocktail.
