Another rum beverage that has more to offer with even more ingredients, all which will be fitting into an old fashioned glass filled with ice. A compact drink filled with multitudes of flavor, it will become a party favorite in a hurry.

Splashes of grenadine and blue Curacao give it a nice hue to go along with its great taste. A perfect selection for today’s Drink of the Day. I think I may have to have one of these myself once I have time to sit back and relax. I’m beginning to believe that brandy and rum were made to be used together.

Sir Walter Cocktail

1 oz. White Rum

3/4 oz. Brandy

1/2 oz. Simple Syrup

Splash of Blue Curacao

Splash of Grenadine

Juice of Half Lime

Method: In a mixing glass with ice, Pour in the measured amounts of the first five ingredients. Squeeze in the juice from half a lime, making sure to throw away the lime remnants after doing so. Cap off with a tin and shake. Strain into an old fashioned glass with ice.
