Method

Cocktail

1

Muddle

In a cocktail shaker or sturdy mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup (15 ml). Gently muddle the mint 6–8 times — press to release the oils but avoid shredding the leaves to prevent bitterness.

2

Add citrus and rum

Add the fresh lime juice (15 ml) and Bumbu rum (60 ml) to the shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.

3

Shake

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled (the outside of the shaker should become frosty).

4

Strain into glass

Prepare a chilled Collins or highball glass with crushed ice or a handful of ice cubes. Double-strain the cocktail over the ice (use a fine strainer in addition to the shaker strainer) to catch mint bits.

5

Top with Prosecco

Gently top the drink with Santa Margherita Prosecco (90 ml). Pour slowly to preserve carbonation and avoid overflowing; stir once very gently with a bar spoon to integrate.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and a fresh mint sprig. Clap the mint between your palms once and place it on top for aroma. Serve immediately.
