Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Light Rum; 0.75 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur; 0.75 oz Lemon Juice

Bright and brisk, this rum-citrus cocktail balances the zesty tartness of fresh lemon with the sweet, orange warmth of Cointreau, finished by a clean rum backbone. It pours pale and clear into a chilled cocktail glass and is lifted by aromatic lemon oils from the twist, a refreshing, easy-drinking option worth making when you want something crisp and refined.

Ingredients

1.5 oz Light Rum
0.75 oz Cointreau® Orange Liqueur
0.75 oz Lemon Juice

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker filled with cracked ice, combine light rum, Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice.
Secure the lid of the shaker and shake vigorously until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a twist of lemon by cutting a thin strip of lemon peel and twisting it over the glass to release the oils before placing it in the drink.
