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.
