O & Tonic
3 ingredientsbuilt2 mineasy
A clean, two-ingredient highball that pairs Bacardi orange rum with tonic water over ice, finished with an orange twist. The bitter quinine of the tonic water provides contrast to the sweet orange rum, similar in structure to a gin and tonic. Best served very cold.
