Method
Build & Shake
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz aged dark rum, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill — about 4–6 large cubes), secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
Strain & Serve
Prepare glass
Place a large ice cube or fresh ice in an old-fashioned (rocks) glass.
Strain cocktail
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice to remove small shards of ice and any pulp.
Garnish and finish
Express a lime wheel or wedge over the drink to release aromatic oils, then drop the garnish into the glass. Optionally add an extra dash of bitters on top for aromatics.
