Las Fresas! Happy Rum Day!
Today, my friends, we celebrate one of the holiest of made-up holidays: National Rum Day. It's like Christmas, but calls for slightly less drinking. Believe it or not only one of the thousands of rum brands sent me a gift: Zacapa Rum. On first taste their Rum 23 is very nice (A review will be forthcoming). But after work tonight, I'm going to be celebrating Rum Day with their "The Fresas" cocktail. Loosely translated it means "The Alcoholic Strawberry" Enjoy!
Las Fresas
1 1/2 ounces Zacapa Rum 23
3/4 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce fresh strawberry puree
Preparation:
1. Combine Zacapa Rum 23, lime juice, simple syrup, and strawberry puree into a cocktail shaker with ice.
