This timeless highball is a staple for those who enjoy a simple yet spirited drink. The deep, molasses notes of the dark rum sit beautifully atop the effervescent, zesty ginger beer. Served over plenty of ice, it offers a crisp, warming finish that is both easy to make and satisfying. It is a perfect choice for a relaxed evening or a warm afternoon, requiring no complex techniques, just a good pour and a splash of citrus to brighten the profile.
