Northside Special

Bright, citrus-forward and lightly sweet, the Northside Special pairs juicy orange and zesty lemon with the molasses warmth of Jamaican dark rum and a lively soda finish. Served tall over crushed ice with fruit garnishes, it looks tropical and inviting and drinks refreshingly light. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing option when you want a fizzy, summery rum cooler.
