Burgundy Bishop

Pro tips

• Dissolve powdered sugar completely in lemon juice before adding rum to avoid grittiness
• Shake vigorously with ice for 10-15 seconds to ensure proper chilling and blending
• Strain into a chilled glass for optimal temperature and presentation
• Adjust sweetness to taste by varying powdered sugar slightly based on lemon juice tartness

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Imported Rum → light rum or white rum (maintains balance)
• Powdered sugar → simple syrup at 1/2 tsp (easier to dissolve)
• Lemon juice → lime juice (shifts flavor toward citrus sharpness)

Can I use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled?

Yes, fresh lemon juice is preferred. Use about 1/2 oz for the best flavor and acidity balance.

What type of rum works best for this cocktail?

Old Mr. Boston Imported Rum is traditional, but any light or white rum will work as a substitute.

Should this drink be shaken or stirred?

Shake with ice to chill and blend the ingredients properly, then strain into a glass.

Can I make this drink in advance?

Best served fresh. Mix the rum, lemon juice, and powdered sugar when ready to drink.
