This refreshing summer cocktail is the perfect blend of zesty lime, aromatic spearmint, and smooth rum, topped with sparkling water for a touch of effervescence. It's a delightful drink to beat the heat and impress your guests at any summer gathering.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Cut the lime into a wedge or small pieces for easy muddling.
In a tall glass, place the lime pieces and spearmint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle them. This will release the essential oils from the mint and the juice from the lime, giving your cocktail a fresh and aromatic base.
Pour ⅓ cup (80g) of still water into the glass with the muddled lime and mint. Stir gently to combine.
Add 2 oz (54g) of rum into the mixture. Stir again to ensure everything is well-mixed.
Slowly add 8 fl oz (240g) of sparkling water to the glass. Give it a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients.
Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep your cocktail chilled.
Garnish your cocktail with an extra sprig of mint or a lime wedge for an extra touch of elegance.
Your refreshing Summer Cocktail is ready to be served. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the delightful flavors of summer!
Tips:
- Use fresh lime and spearmint for the best flavor.
- For a sweeter version, you can add a bit of simple syrup to taste.
- Muddle the spearmint leaves gently to release their essential oils without tearing them into small pieces.
- Chill your sparkling water beforehand to keep your cocktail cool and refreshing.
- Garnish with an extra mint leaf or a lime wedge for an eye-catching presentation.
With this simple yet invigorating summer cocktail in hand, you'll be ready to enjoy any sunny day. Its refreshing flavors and effervescent texture make it a must-have for any summer occasion. Cheers to good times and great drinks!
