Bacardi Limone Recipe

Chill glass

Optional: Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to chill the glass.

Mix base

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz Bacardi Limón, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. (If you prefer less sweet, reduce simple syrup to 0.25 oz.)

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold. This chills and dilutes the ingredients properly.

Prepare glass

Discard ice water from the chilled glass if used. Fill the glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup).

Combine and top

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Top with approximately 3 oz soda water, pouring gently to preserve carbonation.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and a lemon twist tucked into the drink for added aroma (optional). Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer so the drink can be adjusted to taste.

Notes

Adjust sweetness and acidity to preference—more lime for tartness, more simple syrup for sweetness. For a stronger lemon aroma, use a lemon peel expressed over the drink before garnishing. To make a pitcher: multiply quantities by number of servings and add soda just before serving to keep fizz.
