History

There are several drinks going by "Bacardí Cocktail" attested to in old books; the most famous is a Daiquirí reddened by grenadine, and the oldest I know of is a stirred drink of Bacardí, sweet vermouth, and pineapple syrup. Here's a mashup.

  • 4.5 if I could. Agree with easy on the bitters
  • Not too heavy on the bitters.

wonsuponatime commented on 1/06/2024:

Made with previous suggestion (light on the bitters = 1 dash… still overpowers the delicate nature of the Stiggins’ Fancy. Next time I make this I’ll use a dropper.) Overall I was expecting this to be sweeter but the small amount of lime really sharpens the drink up - quite dry. I’m not one to alter an old recipe but, personally, I’d kick the Maraschino up 50% and (don’t hate!) swap the Biano Vermouth with one of my favorites: Cocchi Storico di Torino. I actually like the dry aspect but it’s an odd flavor profile when expecting a bit more sweetness. And that wonderful pineapple rum (I do not normally enjoy rum but I can’t not have Stiggins’ stocked to sip on here and there. It’s a fantastic expression!)

  • Straightforward juicy tiki-like easy drinking. Make it for your lightweight friends 2/3 ratios.
  • A nice, complex, refreshing drink. The S&C comes through but there's a lot more to it than that.

  • Cut the cinnamon syrup to 1/4 oz. and the pineapple juice to 1/2 oz. -- seemed like it would be awfully sweet otherwise.

Made this as written and the Benedictine was overpowering, but another couple ounces of champagne balanced it excellently.
