Instructions

Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass.
1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Add rum, simple syrup, and ice cubes to the shaker.
2 oz Light Rum, 1/2 oz Simple Syrup, Club Soda
Strain the mixture into a tall Collins glass filled with ice cubes and top off the glass with club soda, adding enough to fill the glass.
If you are not using a shaker, give the cocktail a gentle stir with a long spoon to combine all the ingredients.
Garnish the drink with a lemon and a cherry and serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't have any rum, make a Tom Collins by adding Gin or a John Collins by adding bourbon.

Make ahead and relax during your next party.

Serve this Rum Collins drink with this delicious Artichoke Dip or my Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts.

Use fresh lime juice for the best cocktail.

Don't skip the garnish. This cocktail feels extra special when you garnish with a lemon wheel and a cherry.
