Glassware Tip

Chill your cocktail glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps your drink at the perfect temperature longer and adds an elegant frosted appearance.

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.

Sweetener Tip

Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.

Did You Know?

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