Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint and Sugar

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and mixing with the sugar. Do not shred the leaves; just press gently.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Rum

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and Flor de Caña 4 rum over the muddled mint and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sugar begins to dissolve.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the mixture.

Mixing and Serving

  1. 4

    Top with Champagne

    Carefully pour the champagne over the ice and rum mixture, allowing it to mix gently. Be cautious to not overflow the glass.

  2. 5

    Add Bitters

    Add two dashes of bitters on top of the drink for added complexity and flavor.

  3. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with a fresh mint sprig for aroma and presentation. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
