With any cocktail there are bound to be multiple versions. Slight tweaks and alterations to suit ones taste. The Ritz version of the Bacardi Cocktail is refreshingly light and fruity. This recipe was adapted from The Artistry of Mixing Drinks by Frank Meier, published in 1936 by the Ritz Hotel, Paris.
