Notes
Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice. One medium lime yields about 1 oz of juice.
Store coconut rum at room temperature. It stays fresh for up to 6 months after opening.
Make simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water in a pot. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool before using.
Pre-chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before making drinks.
