The Rum Scoundrel

This is a drink Pauline Pfeiffer served on the lanai of the house on Whitehead Street in Key West. I’ve had several epic hangovers, and all of them have been on rum. I think I’ll pass on this one.

Serves two:

• 3 oz white rum

• 1 oz fresh lime juice

• 1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar

Combine rum, lime juice, and brown sugar into a cocktail shaker. Add ice to the cocktail shaker and “hand shake 75 times.”  Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a spiral of lime.
