History:

Swedish Bacardí Legacy 2013 winning cocktail created by Boudy Ghostine at Miss Voon in Stockholm, Sweden. Boudy says, "Two classic drinks that were invented in Cuba inspired me: the Original Daiquiri with Bacardí Carta Blanca and the Cuba Libre with Bacardí Oro. All the ingredients in the cocktail have a connection or a bond with the Latin culture: the rum was originally made in Cuba and is now made now in Puerto Rico; Coca Cola came to Cuba around 1900 and was used to make the Cuba Libre, Mexican or Brazilian lime fruit and finally sherry, a tribute to Don Facundo who was a wine merchant. I present to you the Latin Quarter cocktail, a future classic with a great history behind it."

That's pretty damn spectacular... Be sure to have a large coupe or goblet (as shown) in order to contain the entire volume... I made my cola syrup using 1:1 sugar-free Coke to cane sugar. Interesting how the syrup does not smell like cola, but sure does express cola goodness on the palate, surging to the fore after a brief burst of PX upon first sip... Used Bacardi Carta Blanca and Rhum Barbancourt 8... Don't know what more to say except 'try it!'. Well done, Boudy.
