Review:
Rum character shines in this punchy and fruity Daiquiri variation.
History:
Adapted from a recipe in G. F. Steele's 1934 My New Cocktail Book. Despite his warning, in pursuit of deliciousness, I've strayed a little away from the exact percentages and even ingredients stipulated Steele's recipe.
'BILL' CHANDLER COCKTAIL
G. F. Steele, My New Cocktail Book, 1934
42% Bacardi Rum
30% Lemon juice
12% Jamaica Rum
10% Cointreau
6% Grenadine
This is one of the best recipes for cocktails included in this book if carefully made, but great care must be taken to follow the recipe exactly, or it will not turn out well.
Alcohol content:
- 1.5 standard drinks
- 22.05% alc./vol. (44.1° proof)
- 21 grams of pure alcohol
