Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz white rum
  • 2 oz apple juice
  • ½ oz elderflower lemonade
  • Club soda to top
  • 2 lime wedges
  • 5 mint leaves
  • Garnish: mint sprig

Instructions

  • In a highball glass, add lime wedges and mint leaves. Lightly press with a muddler or bar spoon to release their oils and juice.

  • Fill the glass with ice and top with club soda. Stir gently to mix.
  • Add a fresh mint sprig for a cooling, aromatic touch.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use a dry, crisp apple juice to keep the cocktail from becoming too sweet.
  • Don’t over-muddle the mint—just a gentle press is enough.
  • Chill your glass beforehand for a more refreshing experience.
