This is the recipe straight from Cuba! A great summertime/anytime drink! A real pick-me-up! I like mine with 1 fresh lime wedge. It will only take about a minute or 2. Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
1 fluid ounce lime juice |
2 mint sprigs |
2 -3 ice cubes |
2 fluid ounces white rum |
6 dashes angostura bitters |
13 1/2 fluid ounces club soda |
1 -2 lime wedge (optional) |
Directions:
1. Add sugar and lime juice into a tall glass and stir.
2. Add mint sprigs and muddle a few seconds (even a wooden dowel will work if you don't have a pestle).
3. If you want a fresh lime wedge add now and crush the wedge with the pestle.
4. Add ice cubes.
5. Pour in the rum.
6. Add about 6 dashes of bitters.
7. Pour in the club soda (watch, the soda will fizz over the top if you're not carefull).
8. Stir with a straw or swizzle stick. A straw might be preferable to keep from sucking up the mint leaves that float at the top.
9. Stir as needed when drinking.
