Instructions

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Lightly slap the mint before adding it to the shaker to release its oils without bitterness.
  • Use fresh, ripe cantaloupe to infuse your own rum for a stronger melon flavor.
  • To boost aroma, gently stir the drink after pouring to mix the club soda and release the mint.
