Notes
Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice.
The drink should be served right away while cold.
Store leftover simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
This recipe works well with other white rums too.
Double straining removes small ice chips and lime pulp for a smoother drink.
