Drink of the Day: XYZ Cocktail
It doesn’t get much easier than this. A soothing and refreshing rum cocktail that is very easy to put together. The freshness of the lemon used in this plays well with the other ingredients, giving you something you will find yourself going back to time and again.
If you are fond of rum, this is a must-try! I use a white rum with this in the recipe below. However, as much as the rum is a huge part of the flavor of the finished product, I suggest you try your favorite with this, be it an amber, dark, or spiced. If nothing else, it will be fun to experiment and get the best out your creation.
Have a productive and fantastic day, and celebrate your accomplishments with this warm-weather treat when all your responsibilities are done.
Cheers!
