History

Unlike rum and lime, the Rum Collins uses lemon, which combines brilliantly with aged rum in this refreshing long drink.

This RUM COLLINS recipe is adapted from the 1932 menu of Sloppy Joe's Bar in Havana, Cuba. It combines the juice of a lemon and one part rum with seltzer water, served in a 10-ounce glass with cracked ice.
