A tart and fragrant rum refresher bursting with lime and pineapple juices and brightened by fresh strawberry. This cocktail gets nice foam on top without any eggwhite—the fresh pineapple froths up beautifully.

Cook’s note: 

To make the simple syrup, combine ½ cup granulated sugar with ½ cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
