Quarter Deck Cocktail.

1 Teaspoonful of Lime Juice.
1/3 Sherry. (1 1/2 oz Bodega Dios Baco Amontillado Sherry)
2/3 Rum. (1 1/2 oz Havana Club 7 year)

Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass.

Boy was this just awful. Something about this combination of flavors just seemed to point up the more unfortunate mud and dirt type flavors of the Havana Club rum.

Possibly a different rum would work better? Santa Theresa and Diplomatico have nice affinities to sherry.

Havana Club 7, clearly does not. At all.

EDIT: You know, I wonder, if, like the Pegu Club, this “lime juice” shouldn’t be Rose’s.  Kinda thinking that would be better.

This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
