Strawberry Letter #22

A small red fruit with a bright red color and sweet yet tart taste.

Often referred to as silver or white, these rums are actually lightly aged (1-3 years), but have had their color removed by charcoal filtering. They are molasses based (as opposed to the cane juice-based rhum agricole, clairin, or cachaça). Flavors range from light (Bacardi, Caña Brava, Plantation 3 Star, El Dorado 3) to more flavorful (Probitas, Ten-To-One).

The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.

A concentrated fruit syrup made from strawberry pulp.

A root tea based liqueur, much like the original roob beer. Introduced in the 1700s by Native Americans. Made from US sugar cane and bottled at 40% ABV.

A small red fruit with a bright red color and sweet yet tart taste.
