Which cocktail is the straight-up version of a rum drink and includes sugar, rum, lime juice, topped off with sour mix?

• A. Daquiri Straight Up
• B. Margarita On the Rocks
• C. Mojito
• D. Grey Goose and Tonic

Answer: (A)

This question tests your ability to identify a classic straight-up rum cocktail built from sugar, lime juice, and rum. The Daiquiri Straight Up fits perfectly: it’s made with white rum, lime juice, and sugar (often simple syrup), and is shaken with ice and then strained into a chilled glass, served without ice. The mention of sour mix is a balancing element you’ll sometimes see in quick versions, but the essential components are still rum, lime, and sugar, prepared to be served straight up. The other options don’t match because they’re centered on different bases or serving styles: Margarita on the rocks uses tequila, not rum, and is served over ice; Mojito includes mint and soda and is also served over ice; Grey Goose and Tonic is vodka with tonic water, not a rum cocktail.
