Method
Cocktail

Measure and add
Fill your cocktail shaker with about half a cup of ice. Using a jigger, pour 2 oz Bacardi Superior white rum, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into the shaker.

Shake
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted). This chills and dilutes the drink to balance flavors.

Prepare glass
If serving on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with fresh ice. If serving up, leave the glass chilled in the freezer or ice the glass for a few seconds and discard the ice.

Garnish
- 5
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally slap a mint sprig between your palms and place it on top of the drink for an aromatic lift.
Notes
- 6
Adjust simple syrup to taste if you prefer a drier or sweeter cocktail. Use fresh lime juice — it makes a significant difference. To scale, maintain the same proportions (2 : 0.75 : 0.5 by ounces).
