Drink
Method
Preparation
Add ice
Fill the chilled highball glass three-quarters full with fresh cubed ice (about 1 cup).
Build the cocktail
Pour 2 oz Havana Club Añejo Especial rum over the ice, then add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Top with ginger beer
Slowly top the drink with 4 oz chilled ginger beer. Pour gently so the ginger beer layers slightly and retains effervescence.
Light stir
Use a bar spoon to gently stir the drink once or twice to integrate the lime and bitters into the ginger beer and rum without flattening the carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim. Optionally express a lime peel over the top for extra aroma. Serve immediately with a straw.
