#70: Cruzana

    With 9 drinks left to go, I've decided to give the Cruzana a whirl.  Patrons of The Hut consistently warned me that this was a tough drink to handle, but I found it to be really tasty.  You just got to be on board with grapefruit and maraschino.  A very simple recipe, this drink was created by the Cruzan Rum company in the 1960s.

• 2 oz grapefruit juice
• 0.75 oz syrup from maraschino cocktail cherry jar
• 2 oz Cruzan gold rum or Barbados rum

    Toss that all together in a highball glass with some crushed ice and a swizzle stick, and you're good to go!  My Grog Log list, now having seen many alcoholic battles at the Hut, is starting to look more like a pirate map, soaked with countless variations of alcohol throughout the year.  Only 8 drinks left to go!
