New World

Something about American whiskey, pomegranate syrup and lime juice makes this drink about the American continents. It does look very modern, not a port cocktail or rum flip, but a lime sour with a ton of tartness and oak.

• 3 oz. American whiskey (Jim Beam used)
• 1 oz. lime juice
• 2 tsp. grenadine
• lime twist

Shake all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with twist.
