Saxon Cocktail / Santiago Cocktail

This is a two-for-one post because these two drinks are remarkably similar. The Saxon Cocktail, probably so named because...well there's no obvious correlation between a tropical rum drink and Saxons, but I like to think there is by way of pirate ships and islands. It is proportionally stronger than the latter.

Santiago Cocktail has more lime juice and no orange twist, which makes it a juicier drink. It requires a half tsp. of simple syrup to cut the acidity.

Saxon Cocktail 
  • 2 oz. light rum  
  • 1 oz. lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp. grenadine 
  • orange twist
Combine liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the orange twist. 

Santiago Cocktail

  • 2 oz. lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar syrup 
  • dash grenadine
Combine liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
