Rum

A simple rum cocktail, made in the glass.

Tojo, the bartender at the Glencoe Harbor Club, in Paget, Bermuda, introduced us to this traditional island cocktail.

This is also called a Cuban.

The story goes that Southsides were invented at New York City's "21" Club during Prohibition, when bootleggers from Chicago's South Side were among the restaurant's customers. The original recipe called for gin and lemon juice, but today the cocktail  — still popular at "21"  — is also made with vodka or rum. Our variation substitutes lime juice for lemon juice and leaves the choice of spirits open.
