Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz dark rum (e.g., Gosling’s or Myers’s)
- 12 oz citrus beer (citrus-infused lager or ale, e.g., Corona with lime or craft grapefruit beer)
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/4 oz simple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge or twist for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your highball or tall glass in the fridge or freezer for at least 10 minutes.
- Fill the chilled glass about halfway with fresh ice cubes.
- Measure and pour 2 oz dark rum over the ice.
- Add 1/2 oz fresh lime juice, avoiding seeds.
- If desired, add 1/4 oz simple syrup and stir gently to combine.
- Slowly pour 12 oz citrus beer over the rum and lime mixture to preserve carbonation.
- Gently stir with a spoon or stirrer to blend flavors without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a lime wedge or twist and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill the glass before preparing to keep the drink cold. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Pour the beer slowly to preserve carbonation. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the fizz and freshness. Large ice cubes melt slower and keep the drink chilled longer.
