Ingredients
- 2 tsp sugar (white or brown, depending on your preference. Brown tends to work well with darker spirits)
- ½ a fresh lime chopped into quarters
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- Crushed ice (put ice in a tea towel and smash it with a rolling pin)
- 2 measures of rum
- Soda to top
- Muddle sugar and limes in a Collins glass or a highball, using the end of a rolling pin to squeeze out the juice and start to dissolve sugar.
- Add mint and muddle a little more.
- Fill the glass with crushed or cracked ice. Add the rum and stir the ingredients to equally distribute flavour. Top with soda and a little more crushed ice to garnish.
