Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prep glass and mint
Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill (optional). Meanwhile, gently wash the mint leaves and pat dry. Reserve one sprig for garnish.
- 2
Muddle
In a sturdy mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves (about 8 leaves), the simple syrup (0.5 oz) and fresh lime juice (0.75 oz). Using a muddler, gently press the mint 6–8 times — you want to bruise the leaves to release oils without shredding them (over-muddling makes the drink bitter).
- 3
Add spirits and ice
Add Agwa (2 oz) and white rum (1 oz) to the muddled mixture. Fill the shaker with crushed ice (about 1 cup).
- 4
Shake
Shake vigorously for about 8–10 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and frosty. This chills and lightly dilutes the cocktail.
- 5
Strain and build
Strain the contents (including mint pieces if desired) into the chilled highball glass filled halfway with fresh crushed ice. Top with soda water (about 2 oz) to taste, gently stir once or twice to combine and lift the mint aroma.
- 6
Finish and garnish
Optional: add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top for aromatic complexity. Garnish with the reserved mint sprig (slap it between your palms first to activate oils) and a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
- 7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw. Encourage the drinker to give the mint a gentle stir before sipping so the herbal Agwa character remains balanced.
