During recent years, however, numerous cousins have appeared on the scene - Pedro, Pierre, Sandy, Mike, Jack, the Colonel and several others whose first names have not yet been officially recorded in the baptismal registry."

I used Plantaray 3 Star - a very nice highball - simple and refreshing. Also note that this easily takes a dash or two of bitters - this is a great way to highlight the way different bitters (e.g. Bolivar, Tiki, Jamaican, Daiquiri) will impact the flavor of a cocktail.
