Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Fill your highball glass with ice before adding ingredients. The tall, narrow shape is designed to keep carbonated mixers fizzy and refreshing throughout the drink.
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.
Hosting Tip
These straightforward recipes are perfect for batch preparation. Multiply the recipe, mix in a pitcher (minus ice and carbonation), and serve quickly at parties.
Rum production began in the Caribbean in the 17th century, making it one of the oldest commercial spirits in the Americas.
