Method

  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine sugar, rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves, which should take about 20 seconds.

  2. Fill the shaker with ice, ensuring it is covered, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.

  3. Take a coupe glass and place a large ice cube in it.

  4. Strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into the glass.

  5. Using a small serrated knife, carefully remove a 1 strip of lime peel, ensuring that some white pith remains. The peel should be stiff enough to offer some resistance when bent.

  6. Hold the lime twist over the drink and twist it to release the oils. Discard the twist afterward.

  7. Finally, garnish the cocktail with a lime twist.
