Daisy de Martinique

The daisy is a class of cocktails related to fizzes and sours that supports
many different base spirits. In this version, we're using rhum agricole,
which is made from sugar cane juice rather than from molasses as is the
case for a common rum. Since rhum agricole comes from Martinique and other
former French colonies, we're calling this cocktail the Daisy de Martinique.
You should be able to find rhum agricole in most well-appointed liquor
stores. If you can't find it, you can really use any spirit you like:
branch, whiskey, gin, etc. If you use tequila, this comes very close to
being a margarita.
2 ounces rhum agricole
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce grenadine
1/4 ounce simple syrup
club soda or other carbonated water
Place rhum, lemon juice, grenadine, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker
with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with
the carbonated water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
