Saint Croix Rum Fix
2 oz
Lengthy aging (8+ years) lends some color and lots of flavor to the rum. Most often bottled as a blend of pot and column-distilled rums ('Blended' category). Varieties are available from all over the Carribean and the world.
0.5 oz
A simple syrup made with pineapple juice. To make yourself combine and dissolve equal parts by mass pineapple juice and syrup. Some sources simply buy pineapples that have been canned in syrup and use the residual syrup.
1 oz
The most common fruit juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; pure citric acid. Lemon juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
2 tsp
A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
Combine ingredients in a large wineglass with crushed ice. Swizzle to mix. Garnish with seasonal fruit and a straw. #ontherocks #build #swizzle
