True Bingo


  When I was in San Francisco a few years ago, I had a really great cocktail and thought I should share it so you can enjoy one too.  I have named it "True Bingo".  The secret to this drink is Oronoco, a premium white rum from Brazil (made from Brazilian mountain cane).  The rum possesses hints of vanilla and molasses and yet has somewhat of a grassy scent.  It is very smooth.  The bottle is pretty cool - it has a leather wrap with a map of Brazil.  One sip and you feel like you're on the beach listening to soothing waves roll into the shore!



True Bingo
Oronoco Rum
Fresh Lime Juice (3 tsp.)
1 Ruby Red Grapefruit
Fresh Ginger  

Pour Oronoco Rum over ice until glass is halfway full. Fill balance of glass with freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice.  Add 3 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice.  Garnish with a lime wedge. Grate fresh ginger on top with Microplane.
