Culto a La Vida (Cult of Life), a Rum Cocktail
"Dark rum is created by a longer aging process and different casks from that of light-coloured, drier white rums. Look for words like "aged" or "anejo"" on the bottle.
The spirit inside will have rich and layered flavours of vanilla and caramel, perhaps fresh fruit or spice, usually with an undertone of the sugar cane that creates it.
This recipe was found on the Toronto Star website."

Mm Mm Good! I love Cosmo's, and this was really just a rum twist on that yummy drink. It was really pretty in the glass and I know I'll be making many more of these on our warm and balmy evenings! Thanks for posting! Gourmet Goddesses ZWT9. UPDATE February 2014. Still one of my all-time favorite cocktails! Wish I could give it 10 stars. Just updating to say that the better quality rum you use, the better it will taste. This afternoons version has a 10 year anejo and the drink is even better than ever. That caramelly-oak flavor shines right through and yet the drink remains tart and refreshing. Yum!!! -
Tart and delicious! I used a combination of 100% Cranberry juice and 100% Pomegranate ( I grabbed the pom by mistake out of the fridge and started to use before I realized my mistake)

Unfortunately we didn't like it as much as we though we would. I don't know why. Or what could be added so we could like it more. Thanks for posting Dreamer :) Made for ZWT9
