  • Pick a good amount of mint leaves and place them in a highball glass (use more than you think you need. Somewhere around 12)

  • Juice a lime and add one of the halves to the glass

  • Use a muddler(or the back of a spoon) to express oils from the lime and mint(you want to bruise the leaves but not pulverize them)

  • Add 2 Oz of a good white rum(this is the star of the drink so make sure it's good. I recommend Havana club if you live outside the US.)

  • Add 3/4 Oz of the lime juice you squeezed earlier

  • Add between 1 and 2 Oz of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you want it to be. (Personally I go for 1.5)

  • Add ice and stir until the glass is uncomfortable to hold(about 60 seconds)

  • Top with club soda until the glass is completely full

  • Add a straw and garnish with a lime wheel and a mint sprig

You lost me first at the spoon, not sure how to get one of those, but "simple syrup", OK it's sugar water?

You reached the end

Several of my guests requested them. I didn't know how to make one. So I called the help line | Spyke
