small dash Angostura bitters
Shake. Serve up in a cocktail glass.
Tasty and a bit lower alcohol as the "sweet" is syrup instead of cointreau or something similar.

This same thing is awesome with gin instead of the rum. Can swap lemon for the lime in that case. Garnish with mint and I think it's a "Southside".
Love all of the sours. For a more complicated one see the Corpse Reviver #2: Equal parts gin, cointreau, lillet blanc, lemon. Shake and serve up in a pastis/absinthe washed cocktail glass.
