Acapulco
The Acapulco is a breezy, tropical cocktail that balances the brightness of fresh lime juice with the sweet citrus notes of triple sec, all lifted by a light rum base. A touch of sugar smooths out the tartness, while the egg white lends a surprisingly silky, frothy texture. The fresh mint garnish adds an aromatic, cooling finish that evokes the warm coastal air of its Mexican namesake.
