AdInstructions
- Chill a coupe glass.
- Cut a strip of zest from the lime before you juice it, then juice the lime.
- Shake the lime juice, simple syrup and white rum with ice until well chilled.
- Strain through a fine strainer into the chilled glass.
- Twist the zest over the drink to release its oils, then discard it. Set a lime wedge on the rim.
- Variation: replace the simple syrup with two level teaspoons of very fine sugar. Stir it into the lime juice and rum in the bottom of the shaker until it has dissolved, then add ice and shake.
