Take your two rums*, your FRESHLY squeezed lime juice, orgeat (must contain orange flower water and rose water, NOT just plain almond syrup), and orange curaƧao, add ice and shake. Ditch that damned sugary syrup! It just spoils everything by making the drink overly sweet. Add your lime shells and a sprig of mint. NO OTHER GARNISH. Please! Any other juices other than lime and you're in wacko territory.

  • the rums of course may vary according to what's available in whatever location. Now it IS meant to be a STRONG drink, and I have at times seen it diluted with a little soda upon request. The thought of which you may have varying ideas?
