Method
Prepare Cocktail
Chill glass
If desired, place a highball glass or copper mug in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill, or fill with ice and discard the water before building the drink.
Pour 2 oz light rum over the ice.
Add 1/2 oz fresh lime juice.
Top with 4 oz ginger beer. Pour gently so the ginger beer layers slightly without vigorous stirring.
Dash 2 quick dashes of Angostura bitters over the top; the bitters will float and add aromatic complexity.
Give the drink a gentle stir (1–2 revolutions) to integrate the lime and rum with the ginger beer without losing much carbonation.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and an optional mint sprig tucked into the top of the drink.
Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
Notes
To make multiple servings, multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of servings and build each drink individually to preserve carbonation.
Use a spicy or dry ginger beer (not ginger ale) for the proper bite and effervescence typical of a ROCKSHORE-style drink.
