FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly stir the Rum Fix to ensure it's well mixed?

To stir the Rum Fix properly, fill your lowball glass with ice, add all the ingredients including white rum, lemon juice, and Blue Curaçao. Use a long spoon to stir the mix gently but thoroughly for about 15-20 seconds, ensuring that the ingredients are well combined but the drink remains cold without diluting too quickly.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different type of rum if I don't have white rum for the Rum Fix?

Yes, you can substitute white rum with another type of rum if you don't have it available. Using a dark rum or spiced rum can alter the flavor profile, making the drink richer or more complex. Just be mindful that the color and taste of the cocktail will change slightly with different rums.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Rum Fix compare to a standard cocktail?

The Rum Fix has an alcohol content of 9.17%, which is slightly lower than the average alcohol content found in typical cocktails, usually ranging around 10-15%. This makes the Rum Fix a moderately strong cocktail, perfect for those who prefer a lighter alcoholic option.

Customization ideas icon

What are some creative ways to tweak the Rum Fix recipe for a new flavor?

To customize the Rum Fix, consider adding a few dashes of bitters for depth or swapping the Blue Curaçao for a different liqueur to alter the flavor profile and color. You could also add fresh fruit garnishes, such as a lime wheel or a sprig of mint, for additional aroma and taste. Experimenting with flavored syrups, like vanilla or almond, can also introduce new layers of flavor to the drink.
