Method

Step 1
In a shaker, gently muddle mint leaves with lime juice and sugar syrup to release essential oils.

Add the white rum and a handful of ice, before shaking vigorously to chill and combine the flavours.
Step 3
Strain into an ice-filled highball cocktail glass and top with soda water; decorate with a mint sprig and serve immediately.

Tips & Suggestions

Preparation Tip 1

Instead of refined sugar in simple syrup, use a 1:1 ratio of demerara sugar to water; its subtle molasses overtones offer a deeper, richer sweetness that complements the rum, creating a nuanced backbone.

Preparation Tip 2

Before building, pour 2-3 ml of white rum into the cold serving glass, swirl to coat the inside and discard - to infuse the glass with a slight rum aroma.
