Recipe From
Ingredients
ice cubes
50ml white rum
25ml freshly squeezed lime juice
15ml demerara sugar syrup (see tip)
1 sprig of fresh mint
fizz of your choice
Top Tip
To make the demarara sugar syrup, mix two parts demarara sugar to one part boiling kettle water in a small pan, then stir over a medium heat until dissolved. Cool, then bottle.
Method
- Chill a flute, coupe or coupette by filling with ice. Put the rum, lime juice and demerara sugar syrup (see tip) in a little jug with the leaves from the mint and a couple of ice cubes, then stir to chill the mixture.
- Remove the ice from your glass, then pour in the drink through a sieve, putting a couple of pretty mint leaves back in. Top up with the fizz of your choice and serve.
The day before, batch up the rum, lime juice and sugar syrup if you want to be able to make multiple drinks at once.
