What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.
.75 oz Fresh lime juice
.25 oz Rock candy syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water)
.25 oz almond syrup
.5 oz Orange curaçao
2 oz aged rum
1 Lime rind and fresh mint sprig (garnish)
Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with crushed ice. Shake vigorously until the shaker is well-chilled and frosty on the outside. Pour (unstrained) into a double Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with half of a juiced lime and a fresh mint sprig.
