The Rum Tonic – The Timeless Freshness of Rum

The Rum Tonic is a refreshing alternative to the classic Gin & Tonic. Light, quick to make, and ultra-refreshing, this cocktail highlights the subtle flavors of white or aged rum, enhanced by the delicate bitterness of tonic and a touch of lime juice. It’s the perfect easy-going apéritif with a refined twist.
