Recipe:
- Build in Boston shaker
- 0.75 oz. fresh lime juice
- 2 demerara sugar cubes
- 2 oz. quality white rum
- 1 cocktail spoon Luxardo cherry syrup
- Wet ice (for dilution)
- Shack for 10 seconds to fully chill
- Strain and serve in chilled coup glass
- Garnish with lime wheel
Why it works:
The fresh lime juice and white rum are elevated in this recipe, while the cherry liquid adds just enough color to makes the green lime wheel pop.
