- 1 sugar cube
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 2 ounces white rum
- 6 dashes Angostura bitters
Method

- Pour rum in, swirl shaker and pour contents into a 10- or 12-ounce tall glass.
- Add crushed iced until glass is three-quarters full, then add bitters.
- Insert a genuine swizzle stick or a bar spoon into glass, stopping just above mint leaves, and hold its handle between your palms.
