The X.Y.Z. Cocktail is a citrus-forward rum drink combining Old Mr. Boston Rum and Triple Sec with fresh lemon juice. This balanced classic works equally well at home bars or professional venues.

Yes. Light or white rum works best as a substitute for Old Mr. Boston Rum; avoid aged or dark rums as they'll shift the flavor profile toward heavier notes.
Shake with ice to properly chill, dilute, and combine the citrus and spirits. Strain into a chilled glass.
A coupe, martini, or cocktail glass chilled beforehand works well. Serve up (without ice) or on the rocks depending on preference.
Mix the spirits and lemon juice in advance, but shake with ice and serve immediately to preserve carbonation and temperature.
