Recipe Tips
For a noticeably fresher result, make your own sour mix: combine 1 part simple syrup, 1 part fresh lime juice, and 1 part fresh lemon juice. Bottled sour mix works, but fresh gives the drink more brightness.
Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum is the preferred brand for this recipe because its coconut flavor reads as natural rather than artificial. Malibu Coconut Rum can be substituted with similar results.
Before dropping the orange slice into the glass, squeeze the peel over the surface of the cocktail to release the citrus oils and add aroma to the first sip.
