This classic cocktail is the perfect cocktail for a party if you use fresh mint, white rum, sugar, lime zest, and refreshing soda water to make it. Feel free to play around with the quantities and adjust them to your liking.
Ingredients
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp granulated sugar
small handful mint leaves, plus extra sprig to serve
60ml white rum
soda water, to taste
Method
STEP 1
Muddle the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go – you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice.
STEP 2
Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint and serve.
