Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

  1. 1

    Measure and combine

    Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz light rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz fresh orange juice to the shaker.

  2. 2

    Shake

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted.

Build & Finish

  1. 3

    Prepare glass

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice to chill.

  2. 4

    Strain and top

    Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice. Top with 2 oz grapefruit soda (or club soda if you prefer a lighter, less sweet drink).

  3. 5

    Add bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top to create aromatic 'sockeyed' notes and mild color contrast.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 6

    Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional thin grapefruit slice floated on top. Give the drink a gentle stir (1–2 turns) to integrate the bitters and soda without flattening the bubbles.

  2. 7

    Serve immediately while cold.
