El Mediterraneo

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Use these specified component styles: Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old).

Chill a cocktail coupe in advance to prepare it for serving.

Prepare your garnish by setting aside drops of olive oil.

Lightly muddle the basil leaves in the base of a shaker, just enough to bruise them.

Add the light white rum, Mastiha liqueur, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and rich sugar syrup to the shaker.

Shake these ingredients with ice to combine and chill.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled coupe glass.

Garnish the cocktail by adding 5 drops of olive oil on the surface.
