Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

1

Measure and combine

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz light rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz fresh orange juice to the shaker.

2

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted.

Build & Finish

3

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice to chill.

4

Strain and top

Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice. Top with 2 oz grapefruit soda (or club soda if you prefer a lighter, less sweet drink).

5

Add bitters

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top to create aromatic 'sockeyed' notes and mild color contrast.

Garnish & Serve

6

Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional thin grapefruit slice floated on top. Give the drink a gentle stir (1–2 turns) to integrate the bitters and soda without flattening the bubbles.

7

Serve immediately while cold.
