Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 6-8 mint leaves
  • 1 ½ ounces aged rum
  • 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
  • 2 ounces champagne or sparkling wine
  • Lime wedge or mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

  • Mix simple syrup and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the mint leaves gently with a wooden spoon or muddler (bruise the leaves, so the flavor seeps out). 
  • Add rum and bitters, then fill the rest of the shaker with ice. 
  • Shake until the mixture is thoroughly chilled. 
  • Pour through a double strainer (to avoid bits of mint leaves) into a chilled cocktail glass. 
  • Top with champagne and garnish.
