cocktail review no. 12 - Entwistle's Error

I've got no idea who Entwistle was, or what error he might have committed...but it certainly wasn't this drink. Haw haw haw, wasn't that scintillating? Okay, roll the ingredient list.
  • 2 ounces dark rum
  • ½ ounce lemon juice
  • 4 ounces tonic water
Pour all of the ingredients into a highball glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Can't get much better than that, can it? Rum, lemon juice and tonic water. Dad was right, highballs are best. No more than three ingredients needed or wanted. And these ingredients combine splendiferously. This is reminiscent of other lemony, tonic-laced drinks like the Tom Collins, but with the rum, this comes out sweeter and tastier than they do. I'd say this one is definitely in my top five. Yes, it's that good.
