Method
Cocktail
Build
In a cocktail shaker (or mixing glass) add the Sailor Jerry spiced rum (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), simple syrup (0.5 oz), and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add a small handful of ice and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds until well chilled.
Assemble
Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared highball/Collins glass over fresh ice. Top with chilled ginger beer (about 3 oz), pouring gently to preserve fizz. Give the drink a gentle stir once with a bar spoon to integrate.
Garnish & Finish
Express the oils from a lime wheel over the drink by squeezing it lightly, then drop the wheel (or wedge) onto the rim or into the glass. Add an optional mint sprig slapped between your hands to release aroma and place it on top as garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick. Advise the drink is best enjoyed chilled and consumed within 20–30 minutes for optimal carbonation and flavor.
