Review:
Retitled 'Swedish Daiquiri', this could be a hit. Aged rum (originally Jamaican rum) combines with tangy Swedish Punch balanced by lime juice. This cocktail loves dilution, so consider adding a splash of water or, perhaps better, serve on-the-rocks.
Variant:
In his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, David A. Embury says, "There are numerous recipes for this drink. Here are several. Shake well with cracked ice.
Doctor No. 1 Equal parts of lime juice and Swedish Punch.
Doctor No. 2 Equal parts of lemon juice, Swedish Punch, and gin. This is also known as the Greta Garbo.
Doctor No. 3 One part lemon juice, 1 part orange juice, 2 parts Swedish Punch.
Doctor No. 4 One part lime juice, 2 parts Jamaican rum, 3 parts Swedish Punch."
History:
