History
Adapted from a recipe created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Kaitlin Wilkes at Corner Club in Stockholm, Sweden.
I named my drink Gonzo as a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson – author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Rum Diaries. His legacy was 'gonzo' journalism – a style of journalism where the writer injects themselves into the narrative. Thompson wrote The Rum Diaries whilst in his early 20s about his time in Puerto Rico writing for a newspaper and soaked in rum – quite possibly Bacardí rum as they built their flagship distillery the 'Cathedral of Rum' there around the same time.

Review
Tall and refreshing with a delicate balance between tonic's quinine bitterness and maraschino's sweetness.

Sherbety lemon. Well-balanced and refreshing, but not really a Martini.

The initial drink was just a bit to sweet for me.
Very nice!
