Prep Time: 2 Minutes
Yields: 1 Drink
Ingredients:
5 fresh mint leaves
8 fresh cilantro sprigs
1 lime, cut into quarters
2 tbsp of granulated sugar
2 ounces of white rum (1 ½ Shots)
4 ice cubes
club soda
Directions:
Grab your cocktail shaker again and start by dropping in the mint leaves and a lime wedge into it. Use your muddler to crush these two elements together. Then add your sugar, five cilantro sprigs, and two more lime wedges into the shaker and continue to muddle until all the elements have been sufficiently broken down. At this point you will be getting that earthy sweet balanced smell I was talking about above. Then you want to add your ice and your rum. Stir the mixture vigorously until the sugar has dissolved. Then grab a glass filled with ice and strain the contents into it. Top off the glass with a little club soda and give it a quick stir. Add your remaining cilantro sprigs to the top of the glass as a garnish and you’re ready to go!
