Notes
Chill your glasses ahead of time in the freezer to keep your drinks cooler for longer. This is one of my favorite tricks in the summer.
This cocktail is best served in a small coupe glass. It makes for a fantastic presentation given the drink’s history and age.
Always double-strain shaken cocktails through a fine mesh strainer. This removes tiny ice chips that will dilute the cocktail as it warms.
Fresh lime juice is so important for this cocktail since it's responsible for its punchy fresh and citrusy flavor.
while the classic version calls for white rum you can experiment with aged rums for adding complex nuances like caramel and vanilla.
