Modern Riff: The New Floridita

Like classic Daiquiris? Then you probably wouldn't kick this one out of bed.  

-New Floridita-

2 oz El Dorado 5yr rum

.75 oz fresh lime juice

.75 oz simple syrup

5 good dashes Leopold Bros Maraschino liqueur

Shake with enthusiasm and double strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish lime wheel or wedge.

Pro tip:
-Get a bitters bottle and keep your Maraschino in it--a little goes a long way. I chose to use the Leopold Bros because it's a bit less aggressive than the Luxardo brand.
