Cocktail Base
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the mint and sugar
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves and mix in the sugar. This releases the essential oils from the mint and helps to dissolve the sugar.
- 2
Add lime
Cut the lime into wedges or halves. Squeeze the juice into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture, then drop the lime wedges into the glass. Muddle again gently to mix the lime juice with the mint and sugar.
- 3
Add rum
Pour in the white rum over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- 4
Add ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is well-chilled.
