What would you call this?

Yesterday, while having a brain fart, I mixed the frozen Bacardi lime margarita mix with dark rum instead of tequilla. Actually, it was pretty good. Does this drink have a name?

[Jason Perlow]

Sounds similar to a Caipirinha or a Ti Punch, but made with dark rum. The key being the lime flavoring. Probably closer to a Negro Mojito but without the soda and mint.

I'd call it a Rum Margarita.

Sounds like a daiquiri to me, though it's ususally made with light rum. Does your mix include some triple sec or other orange flavoring?

[jaybee]

I think A Bacardi Brain Fart is a cool name. I'll suggest it to my friends at Bacardi.

I'd call it a Havana Sidecar. And I think I'd be right

(Edit: I was assuming triple sec/cointreau was in there. I dunno what's included a margarita mix. I usually squeeze limes ...)

brain fart

The polite form of this is "braino," by analogy with typo.

I love these titles! I didn't add anything to this, but with what's left over, I think I'll add some triple sec and see what the result is. Stay tuned!

[Kikujiro]

Hope you enjoy it with triple sec. I'm fond of the occasional Havana Sidecar. Also, I'm not the only one who'd call it that.

Well, as luck would have it, I'm out of triple sec (and Cointreau). However, I had a bit of apricot brandy in the cabinet. Poured some into the mix with a little more crushed iced and blended. Not bad. Still can taste the citrus, but also the fruit. Sounds like it may be the true 'bacardi brain fart.' LOL.
