The Tanglefoot Cocktail:                   More fun with Swedish Punsch

Came across another great recipe using Swedish Punsch tonight on one of my favorite blogs cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com. This is very similar to a Dr. Cocktail but uses lemon and orange juice instead of the lime, and Bacardi Rum vs. the funky jamaican rum. The book Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars 1903-1933 suggests using cuban rum as the Bacardi of that era was similar. The combination of orange and lemon vs lime is also another alternate recipe of the Dr. Cocktail, and, I find, one that I am
beginning to prefer. I am lucky enough to have a couple bottles of Havana Club on hand so I used the lighter of the two. This is a very nice drink and one that I am happy to add to my Swedish Punsch list of recipes. 

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Cuban rum (I used Havana Club)
• 1 oz Swedish Punsch (Kronan)
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 oz orange juice

Shake and double strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
