Creole shrubb is the real barrier here: you will need to visit a specialty liquor store or order online, as Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger stock it rarely or not at all. The other ingredients—rum, simple syrup, lime, orange, and bitters—are standard grocery finds, but that one liqueur makes this a planned trip, not a casual weeknight grab. The drink takes five minutes to build, which is honest, and yields a single serving. This is a showcase cocktail for someone with an interest in Caribbean spirits or New Orleans drinks rather than a regular rotation weeknight pour.
