A 'coctel' in old Havana was a pre-dinner cocktail party with finger food and a variety of rum drinks. Bacardi white rum had its birth in Cuba, so it is a natural pairing with the nectar of the guava or 'guayaba', one of the most popular and most widely used fruits in the Cuban culture.
Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade, thawed
2 (12 ounce) cans carbonated lemon-lime beverage (soda)
2 cups guava nectar
2 tablespoons grenadine
9 ounces bacardi white rum
3 thin lemon slices, seeded and cut in half
Directions:
1. Place lemonade, soda, guava nectar, and grenadine in a large glass or plastic pitcher. Stir well to combine. Refrigerate until needed.
2. TO SERVE: Fill each of 6 tall glasses with ice. Add 1 1/2 ounces rum to each glass. Pour guava mixture evenly into each glass (about 3/4 cup). Garnish each glass with a half lemon slice.
3. NOTE: You can omit the rum and serve this drink as a tangy breakfast beverage.
