Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Jigger or measuring tool
  • Citrus juicer
  • Cocktail glass or coupe
  • Ice cube tray

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Bacardi white rum
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 3/4 oz simple syrup
  • Ice cubes for shaking

Optional: lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  • Pour 2 oz Bacardi white rum into the shaker.
  • Add 1 oz fresh lime juice and 3/4 oz simple syrup.
  • Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the shaker feels cold.
  • Use both strainers to pour the drink into a chilled glass.
  • Add a lime wheel on the rim if desired.

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.
