Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 leaves fresh mint plus extra sprig for garnish
- 1 fl oz fresh lime juice
- 1 fl oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) adjust to taste
- 2 fl oz white rum
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 4 fl oz brut Champagne (chilled) dry sparkling wine works too
- 1 fl oz club soda optional, for a lighter spritz
- 1 slice lime wheel garnish
- 1 sprig mint garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a chilled highball or Collins glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice and simple syrup just until fragrant—do not shred the mint.
- Add the white rum and fill the glass with crushed ice. Stir briefly to chill and dilute.
- Slowly top with chilled brut Champagne. If desired, add a splash of club soda for extra fizz, then give a gentle stir to combine.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a dry (brut) Champagne or sparkling wine to keep the drink crisp. For less sweetness, cut the simple syrup to 0.5 fl oz. Avoid over-muddling to prevent bitterness. To batch: multiply ingredients, build in a pitcher without ice, and top each glass with Champagne just before serving.
