ABOUT
I stumbled across this cocktail, yet again, via Frederic Yarm’s (@fredericyarm) page. It was first featured in the 1936 book, “1000 Misture.” The cocktail name itself is the Italian spelling of Puerto Rico. This cocktail combines my love for stirred gin drinks and rum/tiki. I’ll be making this again and again! Cheers y’all!
