The true Bob Marley is grenadine at the bottom, creme de menthe in the middle, and 151 plus creme de bananna, so it makes the red, green and yellow of the Jamaican flag. Light it on fire, stick a straw down to the bottom and finish it!
This is a great classic cocktail that is an excellent example of good marketing. In 1936 the New York Supreme Court ruled that an authentic Bacardi Cocktail had to be made with Bacardi Rum. Sour mix is often used in bars instead of the lemon or lime juice, but fresh juice makes a far better drink, as does made from scratch grenadine.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 oz Bacardi light rum
3/4 oz lemon or lime juice
1/4 oz grenadine
Preparation:
Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
