Cuban Sour Instructions
The Cuban Sour is a classic cocktail that combines the refreshing flavors of lime and rum with a hint of sweetness. This cocktail is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying a night out with friends.
To make a Cuban Sour, start by adding fresh lime juice, rum, simple syrup, and bitters to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10 seconds to chill the ingredients and ensure they are well combined.
Next, strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice. You can choose to use a rocks glass or a coupe glass, depending on your preference. Garnish the cocktail with a lime wheel or a sprig of fresh mint for an added touch of freshness.
The Cuban Sour is a versatile cocktail that can be customized to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add more simple syrup or use a flavored rum. For a more sour and tangy flavor, you can increase the amount of lime juice.
Whether you're a rum lover or just looking for a new cocktail to try, the Cuban Sour is a must-try. Its balanced flavors and refreshing taste make it a crowd-pleaser that will impress your guests.
