#219 Cocktail: Old Cuban

     This cocktail is soooo delicious!
      ......but the recipe is not that old as the name states. It was created by Audrey Sanders, the New York's Libation Goddess in 2002.
       The name of the cocktail comes from the fact that the base alcohol should be the Bacardi 8 anejo rum and as the Imbibe magazine stated, it is a " hybrid between a Mojito and French 75"

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

3/4 to 1 ounce simple syrup

6 fresh mint leaves

1 1/2 ounce Bacardi 8 anejo rum

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Moet & Chandon champagne

#218 Cocktail: Pacific Rim Martini

    The cocktail is adapted after a recipe by Ginger DiLello, head bartender at Philadelphia Fish and Company, Philadelphia. The cocktail was created in 1993, but I couldn't find anything about the cocktail's name.
    It is an interesting combination and quite pleasant. The ginger liqueur is used as a sweet component and it gives only a hint of ginger to the gin and it's not bad at all. In the recipe it says that can be used gin or vodka, but as Gaz Regan writes, it is better with gin.

2 1/2 ounces Gin or Vodka

1/2 ounce ginger liqueur

#217 Cocktail: Old San Juan Sour

    The cocktail was created by Gaz Regan in 1997 after he returned from Puerto Rico and, of course, the name comes from one section of San Juan (the capital of Puerto Rico) and the oldest settlement on the island
    For me, the cocktail is a little to sour if you respect the quantities from the recipe. I tried to put less lime juice than in the original one and it was quite delightful

1 1/2 ounce amber rum

1 ounce fresh lime juice

1/2 ounce simple syrup

1/2 ounce cranberry juice
