I’ll just go ahead and warn you, this classic American cocktail requires a little bit of building, so if you think you and your guest may want a second or fourth, I suggest the pitcher. Just multiply my recipe by 8 and you should be all set. They’re delicious and make the summer a little less hot.
Here we go –
- 3 oz Rum
- 3 tablespoons Limejuice
- 2 tablespoons powdered or confection sugar
- 3 dashes Bitters
- Club Soda
In a separate glass mix sugar and limejuice ‘til sugar’s dissolved.
Fill a hi-ball glass 2/3rds of the way with crushed ice add the lime/sugar mix, rum and bitters and stir. Fill the rest of the glass up with club soda, stir lightly to mix. Dust with a little extra powdered sugar. Garnish with an orange slice, a pineapple spear and a cherry.
Yum.
