I’m always looking’ for a hot weather, rum cocktail that I can make in a hurry, doesn’t require a lot of syrups, fruit, or the layering of boozes, that’ll hit the spot while I’m swatting mosquitoes. Here’s just the one. It’s a quick cooler that’s perfect for when your guests are gathered ‘round the patio bar. Just offer them Ordinary Seaman from an ordinary home bartender.

Here we go –

• ¾ oz lemon juice
• ¾ oz Rose’s lime juice
• 1 tsp powdered sugar
• 1 oz dark Rum
• ¾ oz white Rum
• Lime wedge

Shake all ingredients in a shaker with plenty of crushed ice. Pour everything into a small highball glass, squeeze a lime wedge over the drink then plop in into the glass.
