Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

  1. 1

    Juice and measure

    Juice fresh limes to obtain 0.75 oz of lime juice. Measure dark rum, light rum, simple syrup, and falernum (if using) into a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Add bitters and ice

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker. Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice (or add 3-4 large cubes).

  3. 3

    Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

Mixer & Finish

  1. 4

    Fill a Collins glass or tall highball with crushed ice (about 1 cup). Strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice, leaving room at the top for soda.

  2. 5

    Top with 2 oz club soda or sparkling water. Give it one gentle stir with a bar spoon to integrate the soda without flattening the carbonation.

  3. 6

    Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel or wedge. Serve with a straw and enjoy.
