The Rum Sour is a refreshing and tangy cocktail that combines the rich flavors of rum with the sharpness of citrus. This classic drink is perfect for those who enjoy a balance of sweetness and tartness in their cocktails.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the ingredients.
Pour in 2 oz of white rum, 3/4 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1/2 oz of simple syrup into the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the mixture.
Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice.
Add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass for garnish.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the simple syrup with honey syrup or agave nectar. Experiment with different types of rum, such as aged rum, for a more complex taste.
