Method
Cocktail
Build and shake
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Add golden rum (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), agave syrup (0.5 oz) and the first measure of orange juice (2 oz).
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled (exterior becomes frosty and you feel the cold).
Fill a tall collins glass or highball glass with fresh ice (cracked or cubed). Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass to remove small ice chips and pulp if desired.
Topper & Garnish
Gently pour the topper orange juice (about 1 oz) over the back of a bar spoon or slowly down the side of the glass so it floats as a sunny topper.
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally add a dehydrated or fresh orange slice on top for presentation.
Serve with a straw and instruct guests to stir lightly before drinking if they prefer a fully integrated flavor.
