2 oz. light or dark rum (light, for our purposes)
2 dashes bitters
juice of one lime
1 tsp. powdered sugar
club soda
Put lime juice, sugar and 2 oz. club soda into collins glass. Fill with ice and stir. Add bitters and rum. Fill with club soda and serve with a swizzle stick.
Crooney's immediate response is that it is quite good. We have a bit of a gathering tonight, and so guest judge Kim is back, along with our friends Mike and former (sad!) roommate Kerry.
Kerry looked confused after tasting this drink and then pronounced that it tasted like Alka Seltzer. Not that Alka Seltzer tastes bad, she said.
Mike was not into the smell. He thought it was decent, but could have benefited from removing the bitters.
Kim said it tasted like a drink that could have been good - before it was watered down after sitting on ice all day.
I'm a fan of this drink. Which either means we've been at this project too long, or I have a preternatural affection for Alka Seltzer.
