Rimshot

What is Rimshot?

The Rimshot is a sharp, modern rum cocktail that blends bright citrus, bittersweet Campari, and crisp white rum for a perfectly balanced sip. It’s light, tart, and intriguingly complex - the kind of drink that lingers between tropical refreshment and Italian aperitivo sophistication.

Ideal for warm evenings or as a pre-dinner cocktail, the Rimshot delivers equal parts sunshine and attitude.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.

Why You'll Love It?

• Bright and balanced — zesty lime cuts through Campari’s bitterness and rum’s smooth sweetness.
• Three ingredients, big personality — simple to make but layered in taste and aroma.
• Unexpectedly elegant — a perfect bridge between tropical cocktails and Italian aperitifs.
