Boston CoolerI discovered this refresher while researching "Boston" cocktails, but it's good enough to add to the summer playbook!

I use a Boston-area rum, of course, of which there are several, including Boston-based GrandTen Distilling's Medford Rum and Privateer's True American Amber Rum, used in this photo.  

Yield
1 Servings
Preparation time
5 minutes
Ingredients
3⁄4 oz Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed)
1 t Sugar (powdered dissolves easier)
2 oz Amber Rum (I used Privateer)
4 oz Soda (more or less)
1 Orange Zest, long (one strip for garnish)
Instructions
Combine sugar and lemon juice with rum in a highball glass, then top up with soda and garnish with a long strip of orange zest.
