Method

Drink

1

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or rocks glass with ice cubes to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, pour 2 fl oz Bacardi Superior rum, 1 fl oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 fl oz simple syrup. Add a handful of ice (enough to chill the mixture).

3

Shake or stir

If using a shaker: secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty. If using a mixing glass: stir briskly with a bar spoon for about 15 seconds to chill and dilute.

4

Strain and finish

Discard the ice from the chilled serving glass and add fresh ice if desired. Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over fresh ice. If you prefer a longer, lighter drink, top with 2 fl oz club soda and gently stir once to combine.

5

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately.

Tools & optional items

6

Use a jigger to measure spirits and mixers for accuracy. If using a shaker, strain with a Hawthorne or fine strainer to remove ice chips. A bar spoon helps gently incorporate club soda without losing carbonation.
