Rum Sour

The Rum Sour is a refreshing cocktail that blends the rich, tropical flavors of rum with the tartness of freshly squeezed citrus juice, typically lime or lemon. Often sweetened with a touch of simple syrup and sometimes enhanced with a frothy egg white, this drink strikes a perfect balance between sweet and sour, making it a delightful choice for any occasion. Served over ice or shaken and strained, the Rum Sour is a vibrant and invigorating sip that transports you to a sun-soaked paradise.
