Alcoholic Cocktail Beer Mug or Pilsner Glass 3 ingredients

Recipe

  • 7-8 ice cubes
  • 3 oz Myerss Rum (Dark)
  • 12 oz Soda (Lemon Lime)

Instructions

The color of the Still Water is close to muddy Water, but the flavors of the two ingredients complement each other wonderfully. Its delicious on a hot summer afternoon but has a singular drawback: the sweetness of the Fresca inhibits you from having more than two at one sitting (or perhaps one at two sittings - you decide). Invented by Rob Jones, to my knowledge - at least I came up with it independently.Start with a 16oz glass Add the ice cubes first. Float the ice in 3 oz of Myerss Rum (Dark) Open the can of Fresca and pour it all at once into the glass, letting it foam. This effervescence from the sodas carbonation serves to Mix the Rum with the Fresca.

About Still Water

The Still Water cocktail is a refreshing and straightforward drink that combines the rich, molasses-forward flavors of Myers's Dark Rum with the crisp, effervescent qualities of lemon-lime soda. Served over ice, this cocktail offers a balance of deep, warming notes from the rum and the zesty, invigorating taste of the soda, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a simple yet flavorful beverage. The dark rum provides a robust base, while the soda lightens the mix, making it a versatile drink suitable for both casual gatherings and more relaxed, contemplative moments.

The history of the Still Water cocktail is somewhat obscure, as it does not have the same storied past as more classic cocktails like the Martini or the Mojito. However, it likely evolved as a variation on the popular rum and soda combination, with the choice of Myers's Dark Rum giving it a distinctive and bold character. This drink is a testament to the creativity and adaptability of cocktail culture, where simple ingredients can be combined to create something both familiar and unique. Its name suggests tranquility and simplicity, mirroring the easygoing nature of the drink itself.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Beer Mug or Pilsner Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
