On the Rocks: Island Taxi.

All of my vacay days are used up for this year already, so the closest I’m getting to any sort of island resort is a tasty cocktail aptly named the Island Taxi. (I could make some really horrible joke right here about how if I drank too many of these I’d definitely be needing a ride home. Oops. Guess I just sort of did anyway. Damn.)

Ingredients:
– 1 oz Light Rum (Havana Club if you can get it)
– 1 oz Curacao
– 1 1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
– 3/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
– dash of Simple Syrup
– sugar for the rim
– lime wheel for garnish

Chill a cocktail glass. Moisten the rim with a piece of lime, then sugar the rim. Add your cocktail ingredients to a shaker, add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into cocktail glass and garnish with lime wheel. Lick & sip.
