Instructions

Combine the ingredients in a chilled Highball glass filled with ice and stir until the drink is sufficiently chilled. Garnish with the Lemon slice.

Notes

Lemonade or lime soda can be replaced with non-carbonated beverages based on preference. The traditional Cuban version of the cocktail does not include grenadine, replacing it with an equivalent amount (20 ml) of extra guava nectar. Guava nectar can be replaced with boiled-down guava juice thickened with sugar for a more watery cocktail.

About the ingredients

Lemonade: Lemonade is a versatile and popular ingredient in cocktails, appreciated for its fresh and tangy flavor. When used in mixed drinks, lemonade can add a subtle sweetness and a touch of acidity that complements many different spirits. One way to use lemonade in cocktails is to replace soda or tonic water in a classic highball, making it a refreshing and summery drink. Lemonade can also be used to balance out the sourness of citrus juice in sour cocktails like a Margarita, a Sidecar, or a Whiskey Sour. For those who enjoy fruity and tropical cocktails, lemonade can add an extra layer of complexity to the drink. It pairs well with a range of fruit juices, such as pineapple, strawberry, and raspberry. Lemonade can be used to create a mocktail version of many popular cocktails. By swapping out the alcohol for lemonade and other non-alcoholic mixers, it's easy to create a tasty and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Grenadine syrup: Grenadine is a commonly used nonalcoholic bar syrup characterized by its deep red color. It is a popular cocktail ingredient renowned for its flavor as well as ability to give a reddish or pink tint to mixed drinks and is traditionally made from pomegranate.
Rum: Rum is a liquor made by fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate, a clear liquid, is usually aged in oak barrels. Rum is produced in nearly every sugar-producing region of the world, such as the Philippines, where Tanduay is the largest producer of rum globally
