🥃 Serve in: Whiskey Sour Glass
Lemon juice and sugar do the same job here that they do across every sour in this family, just with rum standing in as the base -- garnished with orange and a maraschino cherry for good measure. Simple, tart, and balanced, it's less a destination and more a foundation for understanding how rum behaves in the sour format.
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the rum, lemon juice, and sugar. Shake well. Strain into a sour glass and garnish with the orange slice and the cherry.
