Equipment
Method
Cocktail
Build and shake
Add 60 ml Old Monk dark rum, 22 ml fresh lime juice, 12 ml simple syrup, 7.5 ml orange liqueur (if using), and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a shaker or mixing glass filled with ice.
Mix
Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds (for a slightly frothy, well-chilled drink) or stir for 20–30 seconds if you prefer less dilution and a silkier texture.
Prepare glass
Place one large ice cube or several ice cubes into a chilled rocks (old-fashioned) glass.
Strain
Strain the cocktail over the ice in the rocks glass using a Hawthorne or fine strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.
Garnish & Finish
Express orange oils
Take an orange peel and hold it about 3–4 inches above the drink. With the peel facing down, give it a quick squeeze to express oils over the surface, then run the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink.
Optional lime garnish
If desired, garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim for visual contrast and an optional bright aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy. Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing simple syrup to taste.
Cleanup
Rinse and dry the shaker, strainer, and spoon after use.
