Cocktails mentioned in this movie?


While waiting at the bar for Ms. Mills before their dinner, the bartender offers him two cocktails. A whiskey Sour and another drink that I couldn't quite make out. It sounds like a Begonia. Perhaps it was a Begonia since the drink was a rather milky white. Did he say Begonia? More importantly, how do you make this cocktail?

Never mind. I answered my own question ;) Jack Lemmon called it a Bacardi Cocktail!

Bacardi Cocktail

The juice of half a lime.
Half teaspoonful granulated sugar.
1 1/2 oz. of BACARDI White or Silver

Mix thoroughly, then shake well in cracked ice. May be served strained or unstrained. Important: Do not alter the order of the ingredients

Ooh, thank you! I'm not a huge drinker by any means but I'll try the odd cocktail every so often - especially if it is related to this excellent movie. My god, I love this film!
