El Floridita No. 1

I've been drinking a lot of Aviations lately (without the creme de violette, since I have none), especially since the weather has been hot lately and an Aviation screams "SUMMER!' to me. However, the tropical weather also says "rum" (and I'm out of lemons) so I thought I'd make up an El Floridita No. 1 as found in Gary Regan's The Joy of Mixology.

• 2 ounces light rum (I used Scarlet Ibis for this one)
• 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz. simple syrup (I have a 50/50 cold method bottle in the fridge)
• maraschino liqueur (Stock brand, I used 1 tsp.)

This was very enjoyable with Scarlet Ibis, but I plan to try this with other rums in my stash to determine a favorite. I just need to decide what's next: 10 cane or the Cruzan?
