Description

A blog showing you how to take the foods you CRAVE , and make them quicker & easier to prepare but still bursting with flavor!

The original recipe calls for castor sugar which can be difficult to find but is nothing more than granulated sugar thats been processed until it reaches a super-fine but not powdery consistency. If you are going to be making many drinks, pulse a half cup of sugar or so ahead of your gathering to save time when preparing drinks later on.

Ingredients

2 parts quality rum
4 lime wedges
12 fresh mint leaves
2 heaped teaspoons granulated sugar
1 part soda water/club soda
Sprig of fresh mint to garnish

Directions

Place sugar in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a super-fine but not powdery consistency then add it to the bottom of the glass. Gently press together the limes & sugar. Bruise the mint leaves by clapping them between your palms, rub them on the rim of the glass and drop them in. Next, half fill the glass with crushed ice, add the rum & stir. Top up with crushed ice, a splash of soda and a sprig of mint.
