Ingredients
Cocktail
Cocktail
1. Prepare glass
Chill a highball or Collins glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you mix the drink.
2. Combine base spirits and modifiers
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz light rum, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters.
3. Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with a handful of ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
4. Prepare serving glass
Dump the ice from the chilled highball/Collins glass and add fresh ice (cubed or crushed) to about 2/3 full.
5. Strain and top
Double-strain (or fine-strain if you prefer) the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top with 2 oz club soda and give the drink one gentle stir (about 3 turns) to combine without flattening the soda.
6. Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or twist on the rim and optionally a sprig of fresh mint slapped against your hand to release aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
