Lime & rum cocktail

Indulge in a refreshing and zesty Lime & Rum Cocktail, perfect for any occasion. This cocktail brings together the tangy flavor of limes, the subtle sweetness of brown sugar, and the bold kick of rum for a delightful experience. Simple to make and extraordinarily flavorful, this cocktail can become a favorite go-to drink.

Ingredients:

2 limes
140g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 cup rum
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Limes:
- Wash the limes thoroughly under cold running water.
- Cut each lime into small wedges.
2. Mixing the Ingredients:
- Place the lime wedges in a sturdy cocktail shaker or a large glass.
- Add the 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to the lime wedges.
- Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to crush the lime wedges and sugar together. This will release the lime juice and mix it with the sugar, creating a tangy-sweet base for your cocktail.
3. Add the Rum:
- Pour 1 cup of rum over the muddled lime and sugar mixture.
4. Shake It Up:
- If using a cocktail shaker, secure the lid and shake well until everything is combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved. This should take about 15-20 seconds.
- If using a large glass, stir the mixture thoroughly with a long spoon until the ingredients are well mixed.
5. Serve:
- Fill two serving glasses with ice cubes.
- Strain the cocktail mixture over the ice into the serving glasses. You can use a fine-mesh strainer or the strainer attachment on your shaker to keep out the lime pulp and seeds.
6. Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with a fresh lime wheel or wedge on the rim of each glass.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Lime & Rum Cocktail!

Tips:

- For a more refined drink, consider straining the cocktail before serving to remove lime pulp.

- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Roll the limes on the countertop before cutting to release more juice.

- Adjust the amount of sugar and lime to taste if you prefer a sweeter or tangier cocktail.

- Serve over crushed ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

- Garnish with a lime wedge or mint sprig for an added touch of elegance.

Enjoy your perfectly balanced Lime & Rum Cocktail, bursting with tangy lime, sweet brown sugar, and the rich taste of rum. This refreshing drink is sure to impress your guests and become a staple at your gatherings.
