The preparation

4 steps, about 5 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Muddle mint leaves with sugar and lime juice

  2. 02

    Add rum and ice

  3. 03

    Top with soda water

  4. 04

    Stir gently and garnish with mint sprig

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Press the mint gently when you muddle rather than pulverizing it, since a light bruise releases the oils while shredding it makes the drink taste bitter and grassy. Add the soda last and stir just enough to lift the mint through.”
