Ingredients

• 30ml White Rum
• ½ fresh lime
• 12 fresh mint leaves
• caster sugar
• Dash of soda water
• Cubed ice or crushed ice
• To Garnish: Sprig of Fresh Mint, cucumber

Direction

1. Put the four lime wedges into a glass, then add the sugar and muddle (squish everything together) to release the lime juice
2. Put the mint leaves on one hand and clap. This bruises the leaves and releases the aroma. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass and drop them in. Use a muddler to gently push the mint down into the lime juice
3. Half fill the glass with crushed ice and pour in the white rum. Stir the mix together until the sugar dissolves,
4. Top up with crushed ice, a splash of the soda water and garnish it with a sprig of mint and slice of cucumber
