Mixing a rum and bitters cocktail - 5 minutes

Creating this lovely cocktail doesn't need any preparation. This cocktail is best when it's served cold, so it's recommended to use ice water. If you don't have ice water, just use cold water and a few ice cubes.

Pour the rum in the glass along with the angostura bitters along with the apice. Fill the glass with ice water, or cold water and ice cubes.

Stir well and enjoy this lovely simple rum and bitters cocktail!
