  • Total Time10 minutes
  • Yield1 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  1. a small handful of fresh mint leaves (save a few leaves for garnish)
  2. 1 lime, sliced and cut into quarters (save 1 slice for garnish)
  3. 1 tbsp agave syrup (add less or more to taste)
  4. ice cubes
  5. 2 oz white rum
  6. sparkling water

Instructions

  1. Place the mint leaves, cut up lime, and agave into a tall glass and using a muddler crush them to release the mint oils and lime juice.
  2. Top up with ice cubes and pour in the rum.
  3. Pour in the sparkling water almost to the top, add the remaining lime slice, and garnish with some mint leaves.
  4. Serve with a glass straw and enjoy immediately.

Notes

You can use coconut sugar or maple syrup if you don't have agave but coconut sugar is going to make the drink a bit darker.
