Ahh...my favorite drink of summer (well nearly all year round), but even better in the summer. Sweet cool, citrusey mint - what could be better?
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup*.
- Mint leaves - 6 or so per drink.
- Tonight we added strawberries
Next - muddle, muddle muddle (esentially mush mush mush - to get the minty flavor out of the leaves)
Then add 2.5oz of Rum. Yes I said 2.5 oz. And yes that is PER drink. Trust me it doesn't taste strong at all.
- The juice of 1 lime
- Fill glass with ice and club soda. And..... Ta Da. Summer in a glass.
*simple syrup: 1-to-1 ratio of sugar to water heated on the stovetop so the sugar will dissolve. You can make this beforehand and save in the fridge until ready to use.
