Few cocktails are as clean and satisfying as this one ā just white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup shaken hard over ice until the shaker frosts over. The result is bracingly tart, lightly sweet, and silky smooth in the glass. For anyone avoiding capsaicin, this is a completely natural fit, since the recipe relies on nothing but citrus, sugar, and spirit ā no spice, no heat, no hidden pepper-derived ingredients to second-guess. Double-straining through a fine-mesh strainer gives the finished drink that glassy, chip-free texture you'd expect from a proper bar. Chilling the coupe glass beforehand is a small step that makes a real difference, keeping every sip cold from the first to the last. Garnish with a lime wheel or twist if you want that little visual flourish, then drink it immediately while it's perfectly cold and frothy.
