Ingredients
- 2 oz. rum typically a blend of light and dark
- 1 oz. lime juice freshly squeezed
- 0.5 oz. orgeat syrup (a sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose water or orange flower water)
- 0.5 oz. orange curaçao
- dash simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar, heated until sugar dissolves)
- lime slice and/or mint sprig for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the rum, lime juice, orgeat syrup, orange curaçao, and a dash of simple syrup.
- Add ice and shake well for about 10 seconds. This mixes all of your ingredients together while chilling the cocktail at the same time.
- Strain the liquid into a glass filled with ice. Straining removes any small pieces of ice that may have broken off during shaking.
- Garnish with a lime slice and/or a sprig of mint.
