Sips & Tips

Technique

The dark rum float adds visual drama and a hit of boozy richness. Use fresh juices where possible. This scales beautifully for batches — multiply everything by the number of servings.

Balance

Follow the Caribbean rule: one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak. The lime provides acidity, grenadine sweetness, rum strength, and juices dilution.
