Recipe notes

Measure the base before adding soda

The 4 cl rum entry names Barceló Blanco as the product used in this version. It is paired with 2 cl lime juice, 2 BSP sugar, 2 BSP mint and one can of soda water. Keep the measured lime and sugar together when preparing the base; the soda is added at the end.

Use a light touch with the mint

Gently muddle the mint, lime and sugar in the highball to release the mint's aroma, rather than grinding the leaves into small pieces. Add ice and rum, then stir to combine the base. Add the soda water last; leaving the carbonated ingredient until the end helps preserve its fizz.
