Review:

A light 'gold' rum (circa three years old) that shows its age works better in this orange liqueur-influenced Daiquiri than a charcoal-filtered light rum. However, your choice of orange curacao liqueur will be more decisive in the success of the finished cocktail.

History:

Adapted from a recipe first published in Lucius Beebe's 1946 The Stork Club Bar Book, which credits the creation of this cocktail to Harry Kaye, "the urbane waiter captain of the Cub Room."

An "Ann Sheridan Cocktail" is the gift of Harry Kaye, the urbane waiter captain of the Cub Room:
Ann Sheridan Cocktail:
Juice of half lime and leave the skin in mixer
⅓ oz. of orange curaçao
⅔ oz. white Bacari rum
Shake well and serve in a cocktail glass.

Big daiquiri fan, but this lacked a little sweetness.

Agreed. 1/2 oz simple syrup would help with sweetness and mouthfeel.
