Bolo Cocktail

3 May, 2008 (08:09) | Savoy Cocktail Book

Bolo Cocktail

The Juice of 1/4 Lemon or 1/2 Lime (1/2 Lime)
The Juice of 1/4 Orange (Valencia)
1/2 Wineglass Bacardi Rum (1 generous oz of Flor de Cana Extra Dry)
1 Teaspoonful Sugar (1 scant teaspoon caster sugar)

Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. (Lime Wheel.)

Quite delicious! Kind of a “lite” Daiquiri. Certainly quite refreshing and tart.

One nifty trick I learned from Angus Winchester’s Daiquiri Video is to drop the juiced lime shell into the cocktail shaker. Also seemed appropriate for the Bolo. Give it a try, if you think that extra lime oil scent would add something to a cocktail you’re making.

This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Goodness, thanks for the reminder! It had slipped my mind that MxMo was coming up next week.

Perhaps it is time for the Underhill-lounge to participate…
