The Acapulco Rum Cocktail is a tropical spirit drink combining Old Mr. Boston Rum, triple sec, and fresh lime juice with a silky egg white foam top. The whipped egg white creates a luxurious, creamy texture that distinguishes it from standard rum cocktails.

Yes, you can omit the egg white for a simpler version, but you'll lose the signature silky foam and creamy mouthfeel that defines this drink.
Dry shake (without ice) first to aerate the egg white, then shake again with ice. This creates a dense, stable foam.
Use pasteurized eggs or pasteurized egg white products to reduce food safety risk. Many bars use these products for this reason.
Any light or gold rum works; adjust to taste. The drink relies on the rum as its base spirit.
After the dry shake, shake vigorously with ice for 10-15 seconds until well-chilled and the foam is full and dense.
