Casa Blanca belongs to the Sour family, a classic cocktail style known for its tart, tangy profile. While its origin isn’t definitively documented, its composition suggests a Caribbean influence, likely emerging in the early 20th century.
The Casa Blanca is a refreshing and balanced cocktail. The light rum provides a smooth, mellow sweetness, while the triple sec adds a bright citrus zest. Lime juice lends a tart tang, balancing the sweetness. A hint of cherry from the maraschino liqueur adds a subtle complexity, rounding out the flavor profile.
For a perfect Casa Blanca, chill your ingredients beforehand. Use fresh lime juice for optimal flavor. Shake vigorously with ice to ensure proper dilution and a frosty, refreshing drink. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don’t skimp on the Maraschino liqueur; it adds a delightful complexity. Garnish with a lime wheel for a touch of elegance.
