Expert Tips
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.
Fresh Herb Tip
Gently slap fresh herbs between your palms before adding to your drink. This releases essential oils and aromatics without bruising the leaves or creating bitter flavors.
Rum production began in the Caribbean in the 17th century, making it one of the oldest commercial spirits in the Americas.
