• 15ml (1/2 oz) freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1tsp caster sugar
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

• Strainer
• Tumbler

MIXING METHOD:

Pour the rum, lime juice, sugar, and bitters into an ice-filled shaker. Strain into a tumbler half filled with crushed ice. Top with soda water. Serve with a swizzle stick.
