Notes
Helpful Tips
- If you don't have both white and gold rum, just use the one you do have.
- Whenever I use citrus in a cocktail or as a garnish, I always wash it to make sure it is clean from pesticides. Here's how: squirt some natural, unscented soap in your hand. (I use a foaming soap from Whole Foods) and rub the citrus with it. Use a vegetable brush to scrub the skin and rinse with cool water to remove the soap.
- To make the garnish, slice two thin wheels from the equator of an orange. Next, I cut a slit in the skin and make a little cup with the orange wheel. I then secure it with a martini pick.
