Pro-Tips for the Perfect Serve
The Ice Matters
Always use large, clear ice cubes for sipping rums to slow down dilution. For punch, crushed ice helps keep the drink refreshingly cold in tropical heat.
Fresh is Best
Never use bottled lime juice. The acidity of fresh-squeezed limes is essential to cutting through the natural sweetness of the molasses-based rum.
