Glassware Tip

Fill your highball glass with ice before adding ingredients. The tall, narrow shape is designed to keep carbonated mixers fizzy and refreshing throughout the drink.

Fresh Citrus Tip

Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.

Egg White Technique

For the silkiest foam, use the "dry shake" method: shake without ice first to emulsify the egg white, then add ice and shake again. This creates a luxurious, creamy texture.

Did You Know?

Rum production began in the Caribbean in the 17th century, making it one of the oldest commercial spirits in the Americas.
