INGREDIENTS
- 24 fresh mint leaves
- 25 g granulated sugar or brown sugar (if using sparkling water, increase to 50 g / 1.8 oz)
- 1/2 lime or lemon if unavailable, cut into 6 pieces
- The juice of one lime or lemon if unavailable
- 12 strawberries cut into pieces (200 g / 7 oz)
- Sprite lemonade, or sparkling water (to top up)
- 10 ice cubes
PREPARATION
- In a measuring glass, place the strawberries cut into pieces, the sugar, the lime juice, and the half lime cut into chunks.
- Muddle everything together using a cocktail muddler, or if you don’t have one, use a fork to release the flavors and aromas.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two highball glasses.
- Fill the glasses with crushed ice or ice cubes, leaving some space to add the lemonade.
- Decorate the inside of each glass with a slice of lime, a few strawberry slices, and some mint leaves. This is optional, so feel free to skip it if you prefer.
- Top up with lemonade or sparkling water. If you’re using rum, add it at this stage.
- Garnish the rim of each glass with a whole strawberry and a mint leaf.
