Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
The curvy Hurricane glass was designed for tropical drinks. Its large size accommodates plenty of ice to keep your drink cold in warm weather.
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.
Bitters Tip
Bitters are like salt in cooking - a few dashes balance and enhance other flavors. Experiment with different bitters varieties to create unique flavor profiles.
Rum production began in the Caribbean in the 17th century, making it one of the oldest commercial spirits in the Americas.
