BACARDI COCKTAIL

Simply squeeze half a juicy lime or lemon into a shaker.  Add 1/2 t. sugar, a generous jigger of Bacardi light, 1 t. grenadine, and ice.  Then shake away.  Serve on the rocks or in a cocktail glass. 

By the way, the original daiguiri (1896) was made with Bacardi rum, and the best still are.  So popular, the NY Supreme Court ruled that a Bacardi Cocktail is not a Bacardi Cocktail unless it's made with Bacardi rum!  (Wouldn't want to go to jail or anything for using the wrong rum)

This drink is really sour.  Suggestions were made to cut down on the lemon and add more cherry.  But maybe after two or three or more, it would taste fine!
