About This Cocktail
The Rum Sour is a classic cocktail that features rum as its base spirit, paired with fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness. The cocktail is a variation of the traditional Whiskey Sour, substituting rum for whiskey, giving it a lighter and slightly tropical twist. Typically, it consists of rum, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and optionally a dash of bitters. It is shaken with ice and strained into a rocks glass, often garnished with a lemon wheel or a cherry. The result is a smooth, tangy, and balanced drink that highlights the rum's richness while offering a refreshing citrus kick. The Rum Sour is a great choice for those who enjoy a well-balanced cocktail with a bit of tartness and sweetness.
